Going nuts here. I just want to write down who/when/for how long/security deposit/rent paid in a simple ledger I can glance at. I'm only renting out one room in my home, posting on FF, and just finding a simple receipt to send via text has been overly complicated. The ledgers I've seen (that are reasonably priced) don't break down income the above way that accounts for almost-monthly changes in the renters. I realize this sounds very Luddite, but I need this available for tracking while I'm learning online spreadsheets or whatever works best.

Yes! I'll look into them! Free! Excel is good- but not simple or easy. Thanks!


Quote from @Colleen F.:

@Ishmael Johnson  Zelle shows on bank statement. For cash you can show cash deposits on your side they may want a receipt. I recommend you use a duplicate book if you do cash receipts so you each have an identical copy but I may be a little over the top on that one.

So you actually use a hard copy receipt book? I've been trying to find simple online answers to recording FF transactions that substitute for the receipt book making them available to track as well as send.


Sorry- couldn't figure how to search first. 

I'm renting out one room on FF. I have yet to find a simple spreadsheet ( or not) to enter 

monthly income, not expenses,  along with name of tenant just to track. A way to enter deposits would help.

Thanks for any direction/templates!

Really glad to stumble onto this thread ( although late!). I've posted recently on FF and am overwhelmed at what look like scams- guys who have no profiles, dicey stats, etc.. It's been discouraging and a bit scary. One has slammed back at me saying he doesn't like to post personal information. Once I recovered, it's clear that these are scams- but I wasn't expecting it. I'm glad you, Chris, made it clear that I can indeed ask whatever I want for my own protection- I copied your suggestions. I thought I'd have to go straight to Keylock to have the inquirer vetted- after a certain number, that'll cost me. Really needed a/this forum!
