Now keep it safe: three things
- Keep your photos and files unedited. The receipt only matches the originals. Put them in an album such as “My records”.
- Save this receipt to your camera roll.
Keep the receipt file too. The image is a handy copy; checking needs the file.
- Email it to yourself.Email it to myself
Your mail app opens a draft. Attach your receipt image and receipt file. Don’t attach your photos or documents. Timevolt does not send it or know whether it was sent.

How to keep notes that hold up
Write notes as soon as you can. Keep the original account rather than replacing it later; the venue decides what weight it gets.
- Write it down straight away, on paper or in the box on a step.
- Put the date, time and place at the top, and who you spoke to.
- Use their words where you can; separate what you saw from what you were told.
- Sign or initial a paper note, photograph it and add the photo.
- Never edit an old note. Add a new dated entry when something changes. A device save time is not independent time evidence or proof of event order.

Real cases where dated records mattered. We don’t claim a time receipt would have changed the result.
Ohio, USA · 2022
Keep lease drafts and the terms offered
A tenant would not sign a prepared lease and gave mixed accounts, saying its terms kept changing. Which terms had been offered was part of the dispute. The appeal court kept the landlord's damage award.

Keep each lease renewal and signing record
A tenant said earlier lease renewals were unsigned, though the higher rent was paid; a later form added new terms. The appeal court kept the landlord side's early win on process issues. It did not settle every disputed signature.

What courts, schemes and regulators say.
Positions below refer to the cited rule or record type, not endorsement of Timevolt. This service is not represented as an eIDAS qualified timestamp provider. A non-qualified timestamp does not receive the qualified timestamp presumption.
Residential tenancies, Property Code
Tex. Prop. Code 92.024
Landlord must give a complete lease copy within 3 business days of full signature (paper, or electronic on request or if parties use email). Failure does not void lease but courts abate enforcement actions other than nonpayment until delivered. Statute is about delivery, silent on timestamps.

Minn. Stat. 504B.115
Landlord must give signing tenants a copy; a signed, dated tenant receipt is prima facie evidence of delivery. Delivery is proved by the receipt, not a file timestamp.

Proves / Doesn’t prove
Proves
A completed time receipt shows that the exact selected file existed by the independently witnessed time. You can check whether a later copy has the same bytes. It does not establish creation time, authorship, identity, event order, location or the truth of the contents.
Doesn’t prove
It does not prove who signed, that the other party received or agreed to this version, that the terms are lawful or true, or how a court or housing body will rule.
This cannot establish genuine signatures, agreement to a version, lawful terms or delivery.
These are the bounds of a completed proof. The local tester does not establish any time. The chosen court, scheme or regulator decides what to accept.
Questions, answered plainly.

It doesn't send the plain fingerprint or the random value that opens the code. Keep the original file and the complete receipt for checking. Privacy Policy.
Can I ask my landlord for a copy of my lease?
