Yeah. Inviting people to a rented house you live in doesn't feel weird - it's where you live at after all. They're paying it no matter if you arrive or not.

But if it was a rented AirBnB just for the occasion I'd certainly feel the obligation to chip in on the bill.

I think it’s this idea that they’ve rented it to entertain you. If someone had rented a place regardless of whether or not I show up I feel much more comfortable not paying.
