The big idea
AI can explain why most rentals require 18+ (contract enforceability and liability), but workarounds usually mean an adult signs.
Some examples
- Prompt: 'Why do most rental companies require renters to be 18+?'
- Ask AI when a parent can co-sign vs sign instead.
- Have AI list 3 rental categories with strict 21+ rules and why.
Try it!
Pick a rental service. Ask AI for the legal reason it has an age limit. Note one workaround for under-18.
