    Default Do You Have to Give a Roommate Receipts for Rent Payments

    My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: California

    My roommate recently asked me to provide him receipts for his cash payments for rent. Am I obligated to do so? Is it illegal if I do not?

    He pays me cash every month and I write a single check.

    What reason would he need to request for these receipts now?

    Under California Code of Civil Procedure section 2075 you are obligated to provide the rent receipts.

    This is tax season. If he runs his own business, or claims to run a business on his taxes, he should keep receipts to verify his rent payments for a home office...being that he does not have cancelled rent checks.

    If he is doing that, he should be asking for copies of all the utility and internet bills as well...if he is paying half of those too.

    Thank you for all the input! This is my first time having roommates and things have changed in the household, and he suddenly asked for these out of the blue.

    I did ask him why and his reply was just, its really none of your business. I respect that but it just caught me offguard.

    Anyways, I’ll definitely write the receipt.
