A common complaint reported by timeshare members, industry-wide, is being told it is easy to rent out a timeshare to cover costs. Renting to offset costs is unfeasible for the average timeshare owner, so those who counted on renting can find themselves with little choice but to default. Bluegreen Vacations is one of ten Developers with members that have reached out to us to report how they were sold points to rent to cover costs, or to generate investment income. Other Developers include Westgate Resorts, Vacation Village, Club Exploria, Branson’s Nantucket, Tahiti Village (Soleil Management), Diamond Resorts, and Wyndham. Two additional resorts resolved rental disputes.
