As per ifrs 37 provision is created when there is a liability of uncertain amount and timing so if it is known that rent of certain amount have to be paid and if it's a rent payable so it will it's should be treated as current liability unless there is any uncertainty with it :)

Provision should be created in advance as Rent is current liability if the payment is uncertain

Rent payable is a current liability. A provision is created only when the amount or time of payment is uncertain. For example tax liability - wherein the final decision on amount of tax payable rests with the tax department. In case of rent, both are certain and therefore it is a current liability.
