As a general rule, I would say don't do this. You are on the so-called mortgage ladder now and if you get off, who knows if/when you will be able to get back on. Also, what would happen to the property if you fell behind in rent? Is your tenancy agreement indefinite? Will you be forced to move out at some stage in the future?
Can you see if you can change your mortgage to a different provider, one where there is a fixed interest rate? This could lower your payments.
Have you thought about trimming off any extra payments you may be making - any unnecessary life insurance, accident insurance, income protection cover, transferring your car insurance to a cheaper company, paying your utilities by direct debit, getting a cable/landline/broadband all-in-one deal? These could save you enough money to put towards the mortgage.
Can you move to a smaller house or out of the area a bit to a cheaper location?
Can you perhaps rent a room out in your house? Or do some overtime? Or get a temporary part-time job? Ask other family members to contribute to the household income (sorry, I don't know your circumstances).
If you have credit card debt, can you swap them to a no interest deal to reduce your monthly repayments?
There are a number of things you could do but I don't think I would say selling your hard earned house and then renting it back is a good idea in the long term.
