Rentals
n~ slang. Abbreviation of Parentals meaning Parents. Probably derived from "parental consent".
One of the first recorded uses of the word Parentals was used in the film "Bring it on" in 2000:
"I can't mack on you in front of the parentals" so the shortened version "Rentals" is likely to have come into circulation after that time.
