TENANCY AND RENT INFORMATION RENT BOOK AND LEASE INFORMATION Your landlord must provide you with a rent book or a lease. This is used to record all rent, deposit, and other payments made by you. The rent book or lease should contain other useful information on the tenancy including an inventory list of all items provided as part of the tenancy, your details and the name, address and contact details of your landlord and their agent if they have one. All payments must be recorded either in the rent book or, if you pay through the bank, by receipt stating the amount, purpose and date of the payment and the period to which it relates. Where payment is made by any other method, for example direct debit, your landlord must, not more than 3 months after receipt, either record it in the rent book or provide you with a written statement of the amount, purpose and date of the payment and period to which it relates.
