Morphology
rent + out
The meaning 'to allow someone to use property in exchange for payment' is directly inferable from combining 'rent' (to grant use or occupancy for payment) with the particle 'out', which conveys making something available to others. This compositional pattern (verb + out = give/make available) is common in English and cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows the parts should understand it.
Etymology
The phrasal verb rent out comes from a plain image: to rent something and send it out to another person to use while they pay you. So it means 'to allow someone to use property you own in exchange for payment'.
