That is not possible.

As Grant mentioned, you could create separate "Calendar"s for each client (File -> New Calendar). Each calendar can have a separate color assigned to it. If you have a "all day" event in a date, the event will be highlighted in that color. If you have a timed event, there will be a colored dot. The picture below shows 3 events from 3 different calendars. The top 2 events are "all day" events and the last one is a timed event.

the output of calendar is similar to a stack of transparencies. Each calendar account you create can be included or excluded whenever you wish.


So what you can do is create multiple Calendar accounts, (each to represent a certain client, for example) and view the "stack" of them all at once. then days occupied would be shown with a color-coded "event" for a rental that day.
