Actually PAN No is required for rental receipts,but if any land lord is holding PAN No and if he/she is interested to provide it then you can put the PAN No on the receipt.
One More thing is that don't download the rental receipt try to purchase it from nearest stationery shop.

Yes Pan No is not mandatory for rental receipts, but if it rent is paid by company directly then they may ask for PAN No as they will deduct TDS.
