I think the rent-to-own idea is pretty clever but how would you structure the control of the domain--DNS, etc. I would be reluctant to build a business around a domain which an unscrupulous domain "land-lord" could then redirect to a different site at his whim. I understand that there would be a contract to prevent this sort of thing but while the issue is in courts, your business just died.

That was my first thought when reading that option. You'd definitely need some legal coverage if you decide to enter into that kind of agreement.
