There is, I have been told by N-reg registration agents, a requirement
for a 100hr check if the aircraft is rented out. There is no need to
carry fare paying passengers.


You were told wrong. The rule is clear. Rental has no bearing on the
situation. The rule says:

"Carrying passengers for hire"
"Flight instruction where the instructor provides the aircraft."

Rental of an aircraft without providing a pilot does not fall in to either
category.

So, if the aircraft is owned by a limited company for example, and
rented to the pilot(s) then 100hr checks are required - so I am told.

Again wrong.
