Review the rent receipt before saving

Use the extra visual space in the simple rent receipt to make the wording precise. For example, october 1 through October 31 gives more context than a label copied without thought. Keep that context if a tenant keeping a record of their payment would otherwise need to ask what the entry covers. Read rent received separately from the heading: a plain layout still needs the details that explain the situation. The Design controls let you compare paper sizes without rewriting your text. After changing size, read the page breaks and the final lines in Preview. If the rent receipt needs another page, keep the necessary wording. A simple document is one the intended reader can follow, even when a monthly rent payment for a residential address requires more than a short note.
