Prepaid rent is that amount which is paid in advance but benefit of which is not yet taken by business so it is current asset of business and like all current assets it is also shown under asset side of balance sheet and not in income statement.
If rent received is of this financial year it enters in the I/S under Revenues. If it is prepaid, the amount prepaid is deducted and entered in the SOFP under Current Liabilities as Prepaid Rent Receivable
Prepaid expenses do not go on the income statement as they are classified as assets. They are amortized over the time period being paid for.Example: If you prepaid $600 dollars for 6 months rent. Then $100 dollars would be expensed each month and the remaining amount is reported on the the balance sheet.
Rent revenue appears under the Non-Operating Revenue Section on the income statement.
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).

Prepaid rent received is money "your company" has "received" from a customer to pay rent for "x" amount of time, or prepaid.Prepaid Rent Received is actually an "income" or "revenue" if you are renting out a building, home, apartment, whatever.This is just the opposite of Prepaid Rent that is used in the expense. Instead of paying rent, you are receiving it.Say you own a house you are renting out and the tenant decides to pay 6 months rent in advance, you get the money, but it is recorded as a prepaid rent received, as you now still owe him the full six months rent, you are now obligated to the tenant for the next six months and therefor prepaid rent received (similar to unearned revenue) is a liability for you until the rent is used up.
Prepaid Rent is a Current-Asset account. Since it deals with "prepaid" it will expire on a regular basis and is not a "fixed" asset. Each month (or whatever terms the rent may be paid) the amount is removed from Prepaid-Rent and placed in Rent Expense.
If Rent Revenue is shown in income statement but if that revenue is still receivable in accrual accounting system then it will shown under balance sheet at asset side as well.
