RENTAL CASEBOOK / FREE RENT LEDGER
Build a clearer
rent ledger.
A browser-only transaction organizer. Enter charges and payments, review a running balance, and export a factual record for your own files or professional review. No legal conclusions or eviction recommendations.
Property ledgers
Keep separate rent histories for each rental during this browser session. Export each property before closing this tab; entries are not saved to an online account.
Working on Property 1. Each property has a separate transaction history.
No backup created in this browser session. Export a portfolio backup before closing this tab.
Portfolio backup is a local, unencrypted JSON file containing your property labels and transaction notes. Keep it private. Check a backup before restoring it. Restoring replaces the current session only after confirmation.
Portfolio review workspace
Review flags are administrative prompts, not legal findings. A missing reference does not mean a receipt is missing.

Portfolio totals summarize all property ledgers in this browser session. They are not verified balances or a determination of amounts legally owed.
01 / ENTER A TRANSACTION
02 / SUMMARY
*Arithmetic only. This tool does not determine the legally collectible amount, late fees, tenant defenses, statutory notices, or whether an eviction is appropriate. Confirm all entries with original records.
04 / MONTH-END RECONCILIATION
Compare entered payments with bank-cleared rent receipts.
Enter the total of cleared rent-payment deposits for this property and month from your own bank records. The tool compares it with payments entered in this property ledger and identifies missing or reused receipt references. It does not connect to a bank, upload your records, verify that deposits cleared, or decide what is legally owed.
Use rent receipts only, not unrelated bank deposits, deposits held as security, or promised payments. Your manually entered bank total is not sent to a server or saved in portfolio backups.
- Ledger-entered payments
- $0.00
- Bank-cleared amount you entered
- $0.00
- Difference (bank minus ledger)
- $0.00
Select a month and enter the bank-cleared rent receipts to prepare a local reconciliation.
For source-linked payment evidence, promise tracking, backup verification and professional handoff templates, compare the $29 Georgia Rental Casebook. The free ledger and paid Casebook do not synchronize automatically.
05 / OPTIONAL RECEIPT MATCHING
Match individual cleared deposits to your ledger entries.
Use the month selected above, then prepare a redacted three-column CSV listing only cleared rent deposits: Cleared date,Amount,Receipt reference. Match by unique reference and exact cents; where references are blank, date/amount combinations are only possible matches. Ambiguous entries and conflicts stay in an exceptions list for human review. Nothing is automatically posted or marked paid.
Maximum 500 rows, 1 MB. Use only positive cleared rent receipts for one month. Do not include tenant names, account numbers, descriptions, security deposits, or entire raw bank statements. The file is read locally in this browser tab, never uploaded, transmitted or saved in ledger backups. It does not prove bank authenticity or legal collectability.
Choose the month above and a locally prepared deposit CSV. Nothing has been imported into the ledger.
- Bank-file deposit total
- $0.00
- Entered ledger payments
- $0.00
- Exact reference/amount matches

Transactions remain in this browser tab and are not transmitted or saved on the website. A saved CSV can be restored here. CSV files are unencrypted and contain notes; store them privately. Use CSV with receipt references for this property or a portfolio JSON backup for all properties. Both preserve receipt references.
