It looks absolutely reasonable to me but only because of the first line.

Few renters realize just how responsible they are for the condition of the
aircraft. As far as the FAA is concerned, when the wheels leave the ground,
you are like the captain of a ship. The buck, including the maintenance
buck, stops with you.

If the engine quits and you end up in a field and it turns out it quit
because of an AD that was not complied with, the FAA will want to know if
you reviewed the logbooks and verified that all AD's were CW. If the logs
say CW and they are able to determine that it wasn't, they'll go back to the
shop. If you say, "Huh, I thought the FBO took care of all that.", they may
lift your license for a while. They might even lift it if they just ramp
checked you and found something wrong with the plane.

If you aren't ready to take the responsibility, you shouldn't be in the air.

Of course, tell most FBO's that you'd like to take the logs for the plane
you are going to rent home overnight to review them and they'll look at you
like you were asking for the first four hours free.
