Nor should they be or have to be, in my opinion.

While renting exchanges is in violation of both RCI and II rules, it's not RedWeek's job to serve as "deputy RCI police". I'd also note that as a participant in numerous other timeshare sites, NONE of them are immune from people trying to rent out exchanges --- and NONE of them assume or accept any such "deputy" responsibility.

I agree with this much in the interests of full disclosure.

========== The wording would have to be a little different for non-fixed owners. We don't necessarily own the week we are renting out, but we have the right to use (or rent) it under the rules of our resort or resort group. I own at Fairfield/Wyndom Las Vegas, but I can secure and rent out time at a related resort in Florida or elsewhere. MD
