Section 1499 Rent Receipt

When you pay rent, you have a right to get a signed receipt. The landlord must accept or acknowledge receipt of rent, as well as cash your rent check within 30 days. If the landlord refuses, it constitutes tenant harassment.
A debtor (i.e. the tenant) has a right to require from his creditor a written receipt for any property delivered in performance of his obligation. Leg.H.1872.
