Re: Tips on Renting Out Timeshare (by R P.):

Phil I'm not Jennie, but an owner of a timeshare week has all the rights in the world to rent or do whatever they wish with that week. Thousands of timeshare owners don't even belong to an exchange company and it's certainly not mandatory to.

Many people use their units every year and when they can't they rent them, and that also goes for those that belong to exchange companies. No one can force an owner to deposit their weeks if they prefer not to ... that is IF they belong to an exchange company at all.

You own a deed to that week, it's yours to do with as you wish and that has nothing to do exchanging or any exchange company.

The shortage of good weeks is due to RCI renting weeks to the public and via travel outlets. Those weeks have been exchanged for cruises, airline tickets, car rentals and a host of other travel related items.

This is not about you but everyone that rents or try, it is hurting trading. With small amount of top timeshares banked people can't get fair trade. Renting is causing this shortage.

People are going through a lot of wheeling and dealing to do what the trading companies would do for us owners if they had the units banked in their system.

This trading is never going to get fixed unless some how they put a stop to owners renting their units.This whole timeshare system is setup on owner banking their unit and getting someone else's unit in trade.

PHIL and this is IMHO
