For Prepaid Insurance you will take your amount * 8/12 for 9 months of use (Feb to Sept) out of 12 months.

So $8100 * 8/12 equals the amount of insurance used during the period.

Your entry will be:
Debit Insurance Expense for the amount calculated above
Credit Prepaid Insurance for the amount

Your entry for rental income will be:
Debit Unearned Rental Revenue for the amount given
Credit Rental Revenue for the amount
