Re: Another question on rental agreements....... (by Donna M.):

A contract may not be a 100% guarantee, but it is a precautionary measure for both the timeshare owner and the renter. I can almost assure that both parties are serious when a contract is included and signed.

If damages occur from a renter, their credit card is on record at the resort and they are responsible for those damages, however if they contest the charges the timeshare owner is ultimately responsible unless they get the courts involved (re: the signed contract).

I agree that it would imply that the parties are more serious when a contract is entered into and also your point re damages at the resort. But my question is more from the renter's perspective. For example, you enter into a rental agreement, pay your money to the owner; get to the resort and they never heard of you - ie no reservation. Then what good is the contract to you in those circumstances - and very difficult to track down the person in another country and recover your monies even with an a rental agreement. How can your agreement help you in those circumstances ? Thanks again
