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.

How do you adjust straight-line amortization of deferred rent when lease is extended?

When using straight-line rent expense and you amend the lease you take the deferred rent liability at the time of the amendment and amortize it over the life of the new amendment. If you are still required to account for future rent payments on a straight-line basis, you will need to take into account the new lease payments that will be made over the remaining lease term and adjust the future amortization. To do this, you must calculate the total rent expense that will be paid over the revised lease term (i.e. from the original commencement date through the extended termination date). Then, you will subtract the current balance of deferred rent, as this is the portion that has already been amortized. The remaining balance represents the rent expense that needs to be amortized over the remaining life of the lease. Therefore, you will divide this amount by the number of periods remaining in the lease to determine your monthly rent expense journal entry that will be made over the life of the extended lease.
