They do have the renters credit card, would they use that to cover any damages? Should I also collect a deposit?

All resorts take a credit card at the front desk from anyone checking in. If your renter damages your unit and they contest any charges to their credit card made by the resort for the damages, then the damage expense is ultimately the responsibility of the owner. As I said before, I have heard of only one such case happening after reading timeshare forums for many years.

I would definitely collect a deposit which should be part of your rental contract. You can search forums (top right hand corner) for a 'sample rental contract' which covers all bases.

Thank you, what do you think is a reasonable amount to collect as deposit? I

was also told by Robin at Newport that my renters credit card would continue to stay on the reservation until the next person checks in and that this renter could still come back and stay at the resort as I still have it reserved until June 30th. I did call owner services and have his name removed from the reservation, the front desk says he can come back, I just think Marriott is so irresponsible in this instance, they will use no authority in stopping the abuse of a renter and override an owners wishes, by letting a person come back, what's that about? I don't think he will, but still, it's like they are going out of the way to make a bad situation even worse.
