receipts issued for payments on account / of real vs. spurious rent / Explanation: Marco S. could have posted his idea, but here is mine. Quittance - an 'effectual' receipt and discharge for actual rent vs. the 'bogus' mesne profits version. No need to apologise - even if in England. i recall and constantly cite a BBC TV play half a century ago. 'No need to keep saying sorry. You can't go through life apologising'.

receipts for partial payment Explanation: A-VALOIR: "FINANCES. Paiement partiel d'une somme due, acompte. Au lieu d'un remboursement total, mon débiteur m'a donné un à-valoir." https://www.cnrtl.fr/definition/academie9/à-valoir An example of a legal letter for landlords to send to tenants: "Cette quittance annule tous les reçus qui auraient pu être établis précédemment en cas de paiement partiel du montant..." https://www.journaldunet.fr/patrimoine/guide-de-l-immobilier... The difference between a quittance and a reçu in this context is that a quittance shows that the tenant is released from its legal obligation to pay X€ because it has paid that amount in full, while a reçu just shows that some lesser amount was received. In other words, if you owed €400 and only paid €300, you would get a reçu for €300. If you then paid the remaining €100, you would get a quittance. That quittance would nullify the previous reçu because they both refer to the same debt, which is now extinguished. |
