The requirement that you stop using it after a certain date or if you stop paying would be an extra restriction that the GPL would not allow.You could offer short periods of support or warrantee on a "rent like" monthly-installment basis, and market it as rent.
Sure, but you couldn't exclude those who don't pay the "rent" from starting or continuing to use the software.
