And if I do not pay that rent it stops functioning? What if I want to install an app someone else wrote onto my phone but doesn't want to put it in the App Store? I get what you are saying but I don't want my mom approving what I install onto the device I paid for.

That other person gives you the sourcecode, you compile it an install it on your device.

Oh BTW, you don't have to pay for dev account anymore if you don't intend to distribute your app.
