Re: Timeshare rentals...best way to set up payment? (by R P.):
I would recommend a rental agreement signed by both you and the owner ... you can do a forum search to find a rental agreement .... as far as escrow, there are escrow services that hold monies until the rental is complete ... one such service recommended by Redweek is American Title, but it can be expensive. Have you had other communication than via computer/emails .... if you have verbally communicated with the owner you can pretty much get a sense of if he/she is legitimate.
