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

Jayjay - thanks for your input. I work in the legal biz and if you had to rely solely on suiing someone under the rental agreement to recover funds paid on a rental that went bad, it is hard enough to effect service to someone across town sometimes - let alone, just a name, address and phone number to someone in another city, country, etc. Agreed that you do the best you can with taking all precautions (and just asking for the rental agreement puts the other party on notice that you are serious and want to do things properly and can hopefully weed out scammers) but at some point, it does come down to those "vibes" as you mentioned. Much too learn but suffice to say, I don't intend to pay "rack rates" ever again nor will I buy my first timeshare directly from the developer - this site and the regulars here have helped enormously to educate myself. One question, why are "newbies" often referred to the Tug site to find the answer to their question - I have noticed this in several forums - instead of just answering it right here ?
