Yup. It is not a valid TLD in that .rental is not known to any of
the root servers. Domain lookups for uncached entries start at one
of the root servers. If those servers don't know how to get to the
.rental domain then for all practical purposes it doesn't exist.
On the other hand ".rentals" (note the trailing "s") is a valid
TLD. See http://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/rentals.html
However, the .rentals server knows nothing about the start.rentals
domain.
$ whois -h whois.donuts.co start.rentals
Domain not found.
