If he does those things at a university, the university has protocol, campus police and structures to hold him liable and accountable and they in turn, can be held liable if they fail to do their responsibility in caring for him.

No one assumes any liability for a bunch of unsupervised teens at a hotel room or rented house. It's on....the parents who rented that for them.[/quote]
 [b]Some of the rentals allow 18 yr olds to rent them. [/b]And if they are 18, they are liable.  They know that since they know that being 18 means your are officially a legal adult.[/quote]

Which ones? Do the houses have a roof? Running water? 😂[/quote]
yes, I saw the rental that my DC and friends are renting. It's a nice place. Big - I think there will be like 10 of them in there.

DC told me that the 18 yr old friend is renting it. And since this friend is the one legally responsible for the home, they get say in what is or is not allowed, and the rest of them have agreed to adhere to this friend's rules.[/quote]

LMAO! Good luck to that friend!

Getting a bunch of 17 or 18-year-olds to adhere to rules while no adults are around to enforce said rules sounds like it'll be real easy.[/quote]
Beach week has been a thing for many many years.  If things got out of hand in prior years, don't you think those people would stop renting to the 18 yr olds?[/quote]

And do you think they don't do these things at college in 3 months time?

also, in the article, a parent let a sophmore in HS attend. That I would not do. Not legal age. Also, in the article it says that lots of kids don't do anything really stupid and have fun bonding with their friends.

Also, like I said, if the rentals have had issues with 18 yr old renters, then they wouldn't allow them to rent anymore.  That's what car rental places did.  Too many under 25 renters destroying the cars, so they stopped renting to them.[/quote]
