When purchasing a property where the previous Landlord holds the tenants last months rent how I transfer out the last months rent?

I have a total transaction of $104000 payable to the lawyer .

$100000 will be allotted to the "Property, Plant, and Equipement":"Buildings" and the remaining $4000 to "Other Current Liabilities" : "Rents In Trust-Liabilities". 

The main issue ive come across is that be decreasing one account it also decreases the other... Either im missing something or recording the whole transaction wrong.
