First let me say there is no account referred to as "Rent Payable".

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.

What is the journal entry of rent received in advance?
Debit Cash for the cash received, and credit a liability account you can call Prepaid Rent or Prepaid Deposits. Basically, you credit a liability account because you "owe" them the rent for the month they have paid for in advance. Once the month has passed, you can debit the Prepaid Rent and credit Rental Income. Or, if the prepaid rent is a deposit made, you just keep it on your books as a liability until the end of their lease, at which time they will either be refunded the deposit (debit Prepaid Rent, credit Cash) or if they don't pay their last month's rent you can use the deposit (debit Prepaid Rent, credit Rental Income).
