First let me say there is no account referred to as "Rent Payable". Rent is an operating expense for a business, you have two main accounts that deal with rent. 1 is Prepaid Rent, the other is Rent Expense. Prepaid Rent is used if the company pays their rent in advance. Prepaid Rent is an Asset. For example a company pays 6 months rent in advance, the journal entry isPrepaid Rent (debit) $$$Cash (credit) $$$Each month as the rent is "used up" an adjusting entry must be made. Since the cash has already been paid the entries move the amount needed of that month from one account to another. In this case we want to move it from the asset account Prepaid Rent to the Expense account Rent Expense the entry is;Rent Expense (debit) $$$Prepaid Rent (credit) $$$As you notice since prepaid rent is an asset account it has a debit balance, therefore to "remove" the amount of rent used we must credit that amount.If the company pays their rent monthly on a cash basis the journal entry is simple and straight forward.Rent Expense (debit) $$$Cash (credit) $$$You will not see an account called "Rent Payable" as a payable account is a liability account and expense are not classified as a liability but an operating expense.
