Following Accrual Concept:: The entry for the due rent of the previous month would be as

 

Building Rent Expense            $ Dr.

Building Rent Payable                        $ Cr.

 

And now it is now being paid so the entry would be,

 

Building Rent Payable                        $ Dr.

        Cash                                                          $ Cr.

Dr. Rent Payable

     Cr. Cash

 

The reason of this being, you must have already booked Rent Expense by debiting Rent Expense and Crediting Payable Account (creating a liability). So now you are eliminating your liability by paying you Rent in cash.

 

Thanks.

Since the rent payable was accrued in last month,so assuming the Rent expense has already been booked in last month by passing Rent Expense dr 

                                                          To Rent payable

Now while making the cash payment for the rent following entry shall be passed

                                                      Rent Payable Dr.  $

                                                            To cash in hand     $
