We have been living in our new apartment for a year. The rent is paid via bank transfers or through the KNET. Suddenly, our landlord has stopped issuing rent receipts to us for the past 3 months. Should we go to the rent court over the issue?

Answer: The fact that you are paying through the bank ensures that you have proof of the rent payment. But having said that, the landlord is supposed to give you signed receipts. So, the best thing is to ask the landlord for the receipts and if he insists on not providing them you can go to the rents court.
