Since Rent related to FY-2010-11 only, so you book the expenses and keep the cheque in Bank reconciliation as uncleared cheque, in case the party not deposited the cheque up to the validity period reverse the payment entry and credit the party account untill the rent is paid further

No problem you create the party ledger in current year and reversed the same to the party account mentioning the rent cheque is not deposited by the party. Since the expenses already incurred previous year, Rent account cant be reversed.
