I think what Ankit has asked is that what to account for when Company 1 pays rent on behalf of Company 2, and the rent paid is to some third party.
In that case:
Company 1 will record-
Company 2 A/c ...........Dr.
To Bank A/c
(Being payment made on behalf of Company 2)
Company 2 will record:
Rent A/c..........Dr.
To Third Party A/c (Landlord)
(being rent due for the month)
Third Party A/c (Landlord).........Dr.
To Company 1 A/c
(On rent paidby Company 1, thus company 1 becomes the creditor for company 2.
Company 1 A/c......Dr.
To Bank A/c
(Being payment made/reimbursed to Company 1)

The initial journal entry for prepaid rent is a debit to prepaid rent and a credit to cash. These are both asset accounts and do not increase or decrease a company's balance sheet.
