Rent is actually 租 in chinese. 出租 is to rent something out.
I guess the writer of this song wishes to rent their life.
For rent means something is available to be rented. You will see a For Rent sign outside an apartment building that has an empty unit.

rent a house = live in someone's house and pay him every month
When a house is empty, you put up a notice saying: House For Rent.
"Rent" has the same meaning in this phrase.

The song generally, is about placing value on your (her) life. "But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy Well I deserve nothing more than I get Cos nothing I have is truly mine"
It is about the being you and living up to your dreams... she talks about her desires and dreams below.
I haven't ever really found a place that I call home I never stick around quite long enough to make it
I apologize once again I'm not in love But it's not as if I mind that your heart ain't exactly breaking It's just a thought, only a thought
I've always thought that I would love to live by the sea To travel the world alone and live more simply
I have no idea what's happened to that dream Cos there's really nothing left here to stop me

Hi Bunny, the full line is, "If my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy..." So Dido is feeling that she hasn't committed to (bought) her life, and despite being carefree, she regrets it a little, "(be)'cause nothing I have is truly mine."
