You can rent land and pay L$ to the owner who in turn pays the Linden Lab tier fees. So yes, you can, search for rentals in the classifieds and check out your many options!

Note that you don't actually own it if you rent, your landlord still owns it, so there will be things you can't do with it - depending on who you rent with. (And if your landlord goes bust or kicks you out you don't have any comeback.)
Make sure to look at the terms if you rent.

Alot of places require a group to deed it to where you are an officer/founder. We do this in Serenity Woods because it works out for the best both the renter and landlord. We don't have to show up every time you wanna terraform or change the media and you gain those abilities for your parcel as if you actually owned it. It also prevents you from going over your parcel's prim limit wich is really good for us. Sadly I had to evict a now former resident because they refused to create a group for me to deed it to for whatever reason and was giving me a hard time about it. Oh well out with the bad and in with the good because in her place came in one really good guy with a nice RP group.
Just make sure when you're renting land you know who you're renting from. Find out from your possible new neighbors what kind of person your landlord is. Also find out how they accept payment. I know a few of my friends who own sims are no longer taking L$ payments for one reason or another and only accept paypal. Personally in SW we accpet both as I know many europlayers don't have access to paypal in their country and L$ is their only way they can pay. Just do your research and you'll be fine.
