Journal entries of rent paid

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)
