You should post the unused (prepaid) rent to a prepaid asset account and expense it as used at the beginning of each month it becomes due. The current month can be expensed right away as it is being "used up" and can be posted to "rent expense".

Always match your expenses and revenue; lookup the Matching Principle for more details. This means you recognize the expense when the service (rent) is rendered.
