The journal entry for paid rent for the month typically involves debiting the Rent Expense account and crediting the Cash account. For example, if the rent payment is $1,000, the entry would be: Debit Rent Expense $1,000 Credit Cash $1,000 This reflects the expense incurred for using the property and the reduction in cash due to the payment.
The journal entry for rent paid to Mohan would be recorded as follows: Debit Rent Expense (for the amount paid) Credit Cash or Bank (for the same amount) This entry reflects the expense incurred for using the property and the reduction in cash or bank balance due to the payment.

When you are doing an adjusting entry, you are just doing no more than that, Adjusting an entry. For example. If you have rent paid for a year each month you want to "adjust" the entries to show that the months rent was used up or is no longer available. Cash is not involved in the Adjusting entry because the cash was already paid out at the beginning of the year, so if you used the cash account you would be paying out cash for a payment that has already been made. Say you paid $120,000 on January 1st for the entire years rent. Your first entry would be recorded as such Jan. 1 Prepaid Rent (DB) $120,000 Cash (CR) $120,000 On Feb 1st you want to adjust the entry to show that one month's rent has expired (or been used up) the entry would be as follows. Feb. 1 Rent Expense (DB) $10,000 Prepaid Rent (CR) $10,000 No cash is involved in the entry because cash was paid out at the beginning of January.
