This is why I am hesitant with a rental fleet of 30-40 year old aircraft.
Then again you should cover stalls during any sort of rental checkout and if you don’t like the behavior of that airplane you say so and rent another.
Apart from my little bit of fear mongering a stall is not something unexpected that just appears and jumps up to bite you in the behind.
During a normal flight profile you should never be close to a stall expect for about the last 5 inches before touch down.
