My employer wants to pay an employee a base salary and then pay their rent or "office" rent as a separate check. Should they get a 1099 for the "rent" portion? or can we just "expense" the rent?

I don't think there are enough facts here to give a complete answer. However, employees should not receive a W2 and a 1099 unless perhaps there is a true change in status from employer to contractor or vice versa.

You run the risk of having the whole amount recharacterized as salary. Note "office" rent, the quotes.... give the IRS a little credit. I agree with Natalie, you are not really giving enough facts. Seek local professional advice.
