Renting out an aircraft is a commercial operation in itself

True

and an aircraft

the 100 hours inspection.

That is NOT what the relevant FAR states

An application can be given to the FAA whereby the
FAA can extend this by ten hours - but that is the only break there is.

I can assure you that when a plane is out of a hundred hour inspection that it
cannot be rented out.

I can assure you that your opinion does not agree with that of most FSDO's.
Which FSDO supports your thesis?
