Use of timeshare responsibility? (by James K.):

We own a timeshare. We want to rent out our "use week" to another party. Resort says what is needed from us is:the week(we own)and we are renting out, along with the name of the renting party. Also they add " You do realize that you are responsible for any damages that are caused by the renter". While this seems logical to me, how would I prepare a rental agreement that the renter would need to sign which would state he/she is responsible for damages they caused and not I the owner? As I understand it, the resort holds me liable for my use week, even if I am not there to use it! I believe the courts would side with the resort on this issue. Comments please.
