rent receivable and suspense a/c

Hallo,

If rent receivable a/c balance is omitted from a trial balance and we want to use suspense a/c to correct this, I would write the entries as:

Dr Rent receivable
Cr Suspense a/c

but seems like the right answer is:

Dr Suspense a/c
Cr Rent receivable

– why don’t we debit rent receivable, but we have to credit it? I would treat rent receivable as a receivables a/c, but this time it’s not for sales, but for rent.

Thank you!
