09 July 2015 The booking of rent expense is done on monthly basis as per the lease deed and in most of the cases no Bill is being issued by land lord. Under mercandile system rent is to be booked periodically so the entry:-
Rent Dr
To Creditor Cr

Should be passed.

Creditors should be booked when the bill has been received by 31st March and provision should be credited when services/goods has been consumed in March but Bill is date April , in such cases since no bill has been received till march though services has been received a provision need to be created for the expenses.
