Many timeshare members have reported being harmed because of timeshare sales agents falsely promising the ability to rent to offset costs. This Developer-engineered rental strategy is either unfeasible, or not allowed. Some have called it an inventory grab. Complaints are industry-wide. The result is often the buyer driven to default, with little, if anything, in the contract to protect the consumer if the contract states the purchaser can rent, omitting extra fees and obstacles that makes renting to cover costs unfeasible. This report details seven timeshare buyers who bought from six different Developers. All report that they were assured renting would cover the cost of the timeshare.

Many of us still love the timeshare industry, but are concerned by the volume of complaints, lawsuits, arbitration cases, and Attorneys General investigations in which timeshare buyers describe deceptive marketing, sales and lending practices. We are grateful to Kiplinger’s and author H. Dennis Beaver, Esq., for joining our consumer awareness campaign by publishing our timeshare buyers Do’s and Don’ts.
