How to verify rent payments and issue receipts
When a tenant reports a rent payment with a reference or proof, the landlord verifies it in RentStalk, or it auto-verifies after a set number of days. On verification, a rent receipt is generated automatically. The landlord always sees which payments are reported, verified, or still pending.
Why verification matters
Rent often lands across different UPI apps and accounts, and matching it to tenants by hand causes mistakes and disputes. RentStalk keeps payment status clear — reported, verified, or pending — and issues a receipt the moment a payment is confirmed, so your records stay clean.
When you'd use this
A tenant reports a payment
The tenant pays and submits a reference or screenshot. You see it as reported and verify it, which issues their receipt.
You don't want to verify manually
If you'd rather not confirm every payment, RentStalk auto-verifies reported payments after a set number of days.
Keeping records clean
You can see which tenants are verified, reported, or pending at any time, so reconciliation doesn't pile up.
How to verify payments
Tenant reports the payment
After paying, the tenant reports it in RentStalk with a reference number or screenshot as proof. It shows up as a reported payment.
Review the reported payment
Open the payment to see the amount, method, and any proof the tenant attached against the bill.
Verify it — or let it auto-verify
Confirm the payment to mark it verified, or leave it and RentStalk auto-verifies reported payments after a set number of days.
Receipt is issued
On verification, RentStalk generates the rent receipt with the breakdown, amount, and date, which the tenant can download.
