Law/Patents - Droit : contrat(s) / Rent receipt
Terme ou expression en français : reçus à valoir
Another term in the same paragraph as queried earlier and answered, for which I give my thanks. So, the MESNE PROFITS are received by the proprietor of the building. "Cette quittance ne fait pas novation et doit etre considérée comme RECU A TITRE D'INDEMNITE D'OCCUPATION". Because "quittance" is feminine, RECU can't relate to this so it is the sum that is received as mesne profits, I think. Then the paragraph continues: "Elle [la quittance] annule tous les reçus à valoir". Again I am stumped as to what these reçus à valoir are. Property rental isn't my area of expertise, sorry, so all help is gratefully received.

receipts for partial payment
Explication :
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.

receipts issued for payments on account / of real vs. spurious rent /


Explication :
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'.

Neutre  Daryo: where this bit "real vs. spurious rent" come from ???
12 heures
  -> from the context: until a *Rent* Act-protected tenancy, receipts are issued on a/c of mesne profits. Part payments is legally inaccurate as the receipts don't recognis/ze the payments as offiicial rent pd. by a tenant on a/c.

Demandeur : I decided to go with this in spite of the fact that Adrian's answer fitted my context pretty nicely, as this is more generic and could help others more

Accord  Daryo: "à-valoir" = to be counted as part of a final full payment that should be done later.

advance payment receipt

--------------------------------------------------

Advance payment is a type of payment made ahead of its normal schedule such as paying for a good or service before you actually receive it. Advance payments are sometimes required by sellers as protection against nonpayment, or to cover the seller's out-of-pocket costs for supplying the service or product.

Désaccord  Daryo: It's only "in advance" in relation to an expected/posssible later "final" payment, but for all we know the "à valoir" payments and the full payment justifying "la quittance" could all be grossly overdue - your explanation has no relation to this ST.
