California has one of the largest renter populations in the country, and deposit paperwork there gets scrutinized often. A dated, signed receipt is the minimum paper trail a landlord should have. Deposit rules — escrow, interest, return deadlines — are set by state law and sometimes by city rules. This tool records the facts of the payment; it does not interpret your state’s rules. Check your current state and local requirements before relying on any receipt.

Free downloads carry a small watermark. Pro ($4.99 one-time) removes it. Everything runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

General information only — not legal advice. Deposit handling is governed by your state and local law.
