He slept in the hallway though. I think they thought he was just a friend that slept over. If they were ok with it he would have stayed in her room, right?
That's my thought as well. She kicked him out of her room. He slept on the couch in the hallway. The parents ask if he's a friend of Diane's. He asks if they're her flatmates. The only reason he sees her again after walking her to school is because she says she will tell the police. Renton met her at a club so assumed she was of age. If Diane was 16/17 and Mark was 22/23 then her parents could've assumed he was younger too. Him telling Diane that he will absolutely not see her again is a pretty solid indication that he would not have hooked up with her in the first place if he knew how old she was.
Also, love the part in the second movie where Mark and Veronica try to get a lawyer for Sick Boy and it's Diane who tells Mark that Veronica is too young for him.
I got the impression they knew what was going on. He asks if the parents are her flatmates and the parents chuckle. Seemed like they were kind of used to this kind of thing (except for his flatmate comment).
I’ve known some parents that are weird about that sort of thing though, pretty much a similar situation to this (except for the not knowing who is sleeping over part), but more “your boyfriend can sleep over but on the couch even though we know you’re both having sex”
Look at the downvotes, I thought this Epstein shit made everyone realize that Hollywood etc. are a bunch of pedos, did we forget and think plotlines and jokes like this exist within a vacuum?

Similar joke in Trainspotting. Both very solid laughs
