Yes! Rent is a source of income for the landlord, and he/she must report these earnings to the IRS. You must report all earnings, even gambling earnings! This is why some landlords give discounts for rent payments made with cash, so they can fudge what they earned because there is no real record of the transaction.

What is the long term portion of deferred rent?

A long term deferred rent is money a company owes, but hasn't paid, the landlord at the reporting date. Think of this as rent debt, the kind that the business must settle to be in good terms with the property owner. The concept of rent deferral draws on multi-year contractual agreements that businesses sign with landlords, generally with the promise to pay rent periodically, such as every six months or on a quarterly basis. The deferred rent liability account also may arise if a corporate tenant has a temporary financial problem and simply cannot pay rent.

If you rent a home do you pay school taxes?

No, you don't directly pay real estate taxes when you rent a home. You don't receive an assessment notice from the local assessor and get the tax bill. However, you do pay real estate taxes indirectly in your monthly rent. Real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance, and other costs are taken into consideration by landlords when they determine the amount of rent they need. Luckily there is also competition from other available rental units, so the landlord can't ask too much in rent.


If a property owner owes back taxes on a house and the person who lives in the house doesnt pay rent can the landlord put you out?

Absolutely.....your obligation is to pay the rent...what he does or doesn't do....or when he does it, is absolutely of no concern to you. And your failure to pay rent does not change anything with his not paying the tax collector. That could be the reason he is having trouble! Paying rent is your obligation. Most landlords ding your credit (I would) after being five days late. I start eviction on day ten. If you are late twice, no chance of staying.


What is prepaid rent receive?

Prepaid rent received is money "your company" has "received" from a customer to pay rent for "x" amount of time, or prepaid.Prepaid Rent Received is actually an "income" or "revenue" if you are renting out a building, home, apartment, whatever.This is just the opposite of Prepaid Rent that is used in the expense. Instead of paying rent, you are receiving it.Say you own a house you are renting out and the tenant decides to pay 6 months rent in advance, you get the money, but it is recorded as a prepaid rent received, as you now still owe him the full six months rent, you are now obligated to the tenant for the next six months and therefor prepaid rent received (similar to unearned revenue) is a liability for you until the rent is used up.

You could go to the bank and open an 'escrow' account, and put the rent in there.
