Their own rules may require 100 hour inspections, but the
FAA does not for airplanes just used for rental. A renter
is considered the "operator" of the airplane.

Even an FBO that is using a fleet of airplanes for
instruction, that are required to have 100 hour inspections
for the instruction [ read dual flights] can rent those same
airplanes to a student or any other person even if the 100
hour inspecdtion is due [ time up].
