A: It sounds as if you are requesting to see your landlord's payment ledger. There is no 'law' per se, however, if you are challenging how you made your payments or how they were credited, you should have copies of your own payment receipts through cancelled checks or money orders. You will need to document these if you are going to dispute payments and find yourself in court. Good luck. www.ProvenResource.com
