Re: Building unit unassigned (by KC):

People who own "floating" or "flex" weeks (as opposed to owning specific "fixed" weeks) generally do not know which unit they will be assigned when they reserve a week --- and they usually have no say nor any choice regarding the unit to be assigned. Only fixed week owners who own a specific week in a specific unit know their unit identification in advance; their owned fixed unit / week does not change from year to year (unlike with floating / flex weeks, which will rarely ever be in the same unit).

Another possibility to be wary of is that an advertiser may be attempting to rent out a week that they do not actually own at all, but have instead acquired for one time personal use as an "exchange" from RCI or II. In such cases, the person will not know the unit to be assigned. By the way, both RCI and II strictly prohibit the rental of any weeks obtained from them as an "exchange", so try to make sure that the advertiser actually owns what they are offering for rent. Steer clear of attempted (and prohibited) rentals of any weeks obtained by "exchange". If caught, a would-be tenant could be denied occupancy and the "violating wannabe landlord" could have their exchange company membership suspended or terminated.

What does it mean when a listing says building unit unassigned? Are you not renting directly with an owner on a specific unit? Thanks. Nancy
