The contents of the rent receipt include the name of the landlord, the particulars of the tenant, the address of the premises, the rent, the payment method (such as cash, cheque, bank transfer, money order etc.), the date the payment was made, any outstanding rent (if any) etc. The landlord is the owner of the rental property and the tenant is the party who occupies the rental property and pays rent to the landlord.
This serves as evidence of rent payment to the landlord. A Rent Receipt is a document acknowledging that a landlord has received the rent for a rental property.
