Deferred Expenses are on the asset side of the balance sheet, not the liability side. Long Term relates to anything beyond the next twelve months, but a long term deferred expense would probably be listed as "Other Assets". The deferred expenses are correctly represent the Assets of the company. But, if a company has not paid its rent & its due in next 12 month or may be due on virtual payment basis in 2-3 years, then such expense (deferred rent) is required to be shown on Liability side of the B/S. Furthermore, such payments to be made in next 12 months are to be presented as Current Liability & payments to be expelled in more than 12 months are to be shown as Non-Current Liability Section.

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

Accrued rent expense is a liability?
Accrued rent expense is classified as an Expense. It's not classified as a liability. Expenses are paid out of "Revenue" and they affect "Retained Earnings". When you do a Trial Balance before closing out your accounts, Expenses are actually listed with Assets, because all "Expenses" contain a debit balance.There is only one reason an expense would be listed as a liability and that is if you post the transaction before paying it and then the account "Expense Payable" is used and is a liability as it is a "Payable" and actually is not listed with the term "expense" in it. For example if you have Rent Expense, then the two accounts used are Rent Expense and Rent Payable. Notice the "liability" account is actually titled "rent payable" not "rent expense".The term accrued is merely the term used in Accrual Accounting, which simply means that all transactions are recorded as they occur or "accrue" as opposed to cash basis accounting where transactions are recorded only when cash is paid out or received.In actuality if you are trying to classify your accounts, such as the question, classify the following accounts as either an Asset, Liability or Owners Equity Account, Expenses will be classified as an Owners Equity Account as they affect Retained Earnings, which in turn affects Owners Equity (stockholders equity).
