This depends on the FBO. In most cases, I consider a verbal
confirmation from the FBO as acceptable. If I don't trust their word
that much, I wouldn't rent from them at all, logbook or not.

What is particularly worrying is that this topic was not even brought
up in your training. You should have at least located all the
documetation and maintenance items. All the DE's I know expected the
student to demonstrate the airworthiness of the airplane.

I hope I'm not the only one guilty of this, but do any of you that rent
aircraft ever look at the logs? I have never looked at ant log for an
aircraft I rented, it wasn't even brought up in my training. Well actually
it was only mentioned while I was doing training. I recently found out that
the current aircraft I rent crashed a few years back.
