Unrealized rent is the amount which cant be realized from the tenant...Its treatment depends upon rule 4...

For arrears of rent i can give u an example...The owner asks the tenant which is a brach office to increase the rent..The branch office wants to seek the permission of HO for such increase..They get such permission during next FY and agree to pay the amount retrospectively ie from prev FY..So what we get in this year relating to last FY (the increased portion of rent relating to prev FY) is arrears of rent..

I am sorry i dont have a definition as such..I hope u understand it..
