Fatalities: Rentals vs Owned?

Emily writes:

Every single rental
aircraft I have flown is meticulously maintained, by certificated and
qualified mechanics with factory training.

But who knows where those aircraft have been, and how pilots have
treated them when away from the eyes of their owners? For example, an
airframe could be overstressed and not show any visible anomalies,
until it fails.
