How do I record a rent check that has utility payments deducted from it?

The space that we rent has an additional unit that is currently unoccupied. We've been handling the utility bills for both units and deducting whatever isn't our responsibility from our rent payment every other month. Currently, that involves writing a check with the full rent amount on one line with Rent & Lease for the expense account and then additional line items for each utility account/expense with negative amounts for the totals being deducted, giving us a check with the net amount owed. I'm concerned this may be skewing our numbers as our Rent & Lease expense account shows the full rent amount.
