    Asset or Liability account

    We lease a ground $52M from a State Transportation. We received $28M rent credit from the City.

    Rent credit is asset account or Liability account?

    More Info Mary

    Mary, don't entirely understand the situation as you present it. As far as the State Transportation are you the lessor or the lessee? If a lessor, is the city credit a subsidy?

    Even though I don't understand it, I have this sinking feeling that you will not have assets or liabilities in any of these transactions - only income and expense...

      I think income and expense

      If we understand the post and don't read too much into it, Following Snags, thought, I would also think that it would be $52M expense as ground lease, and the $28M rent credit would either be posted as income or a credit against the $52M expense.

        What if any are the terms of the rent credit? For example is it revocable or contingent upon any specific performance by the lesee
