No. Rented items must be paid or surrendered back to the owner. Generally, on Schedule G of your bankruptcy petition you list each contract to which you are a party (such as a rent-to-own agreement, lease, etc). Then, you have to either "assume" each contract, which means keep pay it, or "reject" each contract, which means give back the items, move out of the rental premises, etc. Please note that nothing in this posting or in any other posting constitutes legal advice; this is simply my understanding of the facts and law, which I do not warrant, and I am not suggesting any course of action or inaction to any person. Speak to a lawyer for specific advice. If you have any questions, please refer to a lawyer in your jurisdiction. Thanks!

Im not sure exactly what you are asking here. If these are rents that are owed, then you list them under your debts to be discharged. Otherwise, you just put them under the section where you place your expenses, paying rent like utilities are a monthly obligation as living expenses.

Trustees motion to deem secured claim withdrawn?

This is not a question. If your question is, "What happens when the trustee moves the Court to declare a secured claim withdrawn," then one should object, particularly if the secured creditor still has a claim. If this is chapter 7, a secured creditor has no claim except on its collateral. In chapter 13, fight for your claim.
