If it has been prepaid by a customer and you show the cash related to this prepayment on your books, it is straight liability. You can think of this as something that you have but does not belong to you until you earn it. It is not deferred liability.

Because if the tenant vacates the premisses you are required to return unearned rent. There are complications to that, say if they damaged the rental unit and part of the rent was as a security deposit... but if you're referring to actual prepaid rent... then you are required to return any unearned rent.
As it is still unearned which means we have not yet provide the benefit of which we have received the rent that's why it's the liability of company and it would be shown at liability side of balance sheet.
I am not entirely positive. But I believe you would take the balance of the deferred rent liability at relating to the lease prior to expansion and amortize it over the remaining life of the new lease. If deferred rent liability was 10k as of 10/31/2011 and you extended the lease term for two years ending 12/31/2013 you would calculate the new straightline expense of the lease at time of the extension through the end of the lease term and determine the deffered rent liability as of 12/31/2011. Then add 10K/24 = 417X 2 = 834 to the 12/31/2011 deferred rent balance of the new lease You are debiting the deferred rent liability and crediting expense to decrease the deferred rent liability associated with the old lease.
