A tenant ledger is a running record of everything a single tenant has been charged and has paid across their tenancy. Each row lists a date, a charge or payment, and the resulting balance, so at any moment you can see exactly what the tenant owes. Landlords and property managers rely on it for monthly tracking, deposit accounting, and as the payment history courts request in eviction cases.

Questions
What is a tenant ledger used for?+
It gives landlords a single, dated record of every rent charge, late fee, credit, and payment for a tenant. It is used for month-to-month bookkeeping, reconciling security deposits, and as the payment history that housing courts ask to see in nonpayment or eviction proceedings.
What is the difference between a tenant ledger and a rent ledger?+
The terms are used interchangeably. Both refer to the running record of charges and payments for a tenancy. 'Tenant ledger' emphasizes that the record is tied to a specific tenant, which matters when a property manager keeps a separate ledger for each unit.
How do I create a tenant ledger?+
List each rent charge and payment by date, then keep a running balance in the last column so it updates as you add rows. You can generate one here for free by entering the rent amount and payments, then print it or export to Excel or PDF.
