Is this a common thing? Do I need to do this? What's the downside to writing out a contract?
thank you for any insight or information you can provide, -scott
No smart renter should EVER consider renting a timeshare without executing a rental agreement. Templates of sample rental agreements can be easily found on virtually any timeshare site, including this one. A rental agreement provides clear and specific identification of owner(s), unit location and description, dates and times of occupancy, damage responsibility, cancellation policy and payment terms. In truth, a renter would be unwise (...outright foolish, actually) to just send money to an unknown person based soley upon email exchanges without a formal, signed, contractual rental agreement which assures the renter, in writing and under signature, that he/she is dealing ONLY with the actual owner of the week being rented.
