Is renting a Play Console legal?
Renting itself isn't a crime — it's a commercial arrangement. The grey area is Google's own terms, which are built around one verified owner per account. So it's legal in the everyday sense, but it operates in the margins of Google's policies. Keep what you publish clean and compliant.
