Hey CharlieBrown777,

Thanks for the question. iTunes Store Movie Rentals cannot be shared with Home Sharing:

iTunes: Setting up Home Sharing on your computer

[…]
- In addition, rentals from the iTunes Store can't be streamed or transferred to another computer using Home Sharing.

Instead, you can learn about moving the rental to another device:

Thanks,

Matt M.
