Rent roll: Rent Record Requirements
The Rent Record Requirements carries 2 published figures read from 2 sources' own pages, from 7 to 7 day, read 26 September 2026.
RentRollDesk sells its own paid plan in this category (our pricing). It is not counted here: every figure in this index is another provider's own published price, read from its own page.
2 of the 17 named sources read in full publish a figure; 15 publish none, read 26 September 2026.
Every figure, with its source
One row per source: the figure the source's own page publishes, the page, and the day it was read. A figure that is not on a page we read is not on this one.

|---|---|---|
| NSW Government, rent records kept by agents and landlords | 7day | 2026-09-26 |
| NSW Government, rent receipts from agents and landlords | 7day | 2026-09-26 |

Methodology
Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2).
2 of the 17 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 15 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 0 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere.
The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in day (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 10 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.
The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): one row per jurisdiction: whether a rent record is compulsory and on what trigger (weekly rent in England and Wales, a tenant's request in New South Wales, any non-cheque payment in New York), the fields it must carry, the deadline for giving a copy, and the penalty for not; joined to the arrears measures from the national surveys.
The derivation is the SUPERSET FIELD LIST - the rent-record template that satisfies every jurisdiction at once, which no authority publishes because each states only its own - and the count of jurisdictions where the record is compulsory rather than merely prudent, beside the arrears rate that says how often it matters.
10 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
