Know Your Rights: You Have the Right to a Receipt

If you pay rent with cash or a money order, you have the right to ask your landlord for a written receipt.

That receipt matters. It helps you keep proof of payment and protects you if there is ever a question about your rent.

Under Virginia law, landlords must provide a written receipt when a tenant requests one for rent paid by cash or money order. Tenants can also request a rental ledger.

For the past six months, a group of current and former Westhaven residents, along with student filmmaker Aylin Dutt have been working on a short documentary to share the story of Westhaven and LV Collective.

It centers the people behind the politics, bringing a human perspective to how developments like LV impact real lives. You can watch the full film on YouTube (link in bio) and on PHAR’s website. Please consider sharing the video to help Westhaven's story reach more people.

Special thanks to Earl Hicks, Rosia Parker, and Joy Johnson for contributing to this project. All images featured in this video are attributed to the amazing creator, Aylin Dutt. Thank you for shining a bright light on our community.
