Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by Chris M.):

Read your docs. The 9 month rule has been a part of the use plan since day 1. I would never have considered the MC if it didn't because I would never be able to get full weeks without this built in provision. Without this rule, all the weeks would be fragmented and getting a full 7 nights would be impossible. This is why ever timeshare has this provision. Some are 8 months and some are 10 months but they all have it. Fairfield, Worldmark, Hilton etc etc. The MC simply copied the use plan being used by all major timeshare companies in the world.

Getting rid of the corrupt Eichner board will lower our HOA fees and will provide some other benefits but it will not solve the fact that booking short stays never works well in the timeshare world. The only way this will improve a bit, is if it is proven that Eichners oversold or is mishandling inventory in some way. Hopefully the AG is looking into this as part of their investigation. If they determine Eichner is simply using his owned time to book reservations and is then renting his time to recoup his HOA fees, we are screwed because he has the right to do this just as we all do. I just want to be sure he is paying 100% HOA on each of his ownerships and has to abide by the same exact booking procedures as we regular owners do. If he owns the time, pays the fees, and books like us, he has done nothing wrong. If he is not paying 100% fees or has booking advantages, he should be hammered. With all of these people bragging about giving their weeks back, one can only imagine how many MC he controls and can therefore rent out on various websites. Anyone know if Eichner is paying 100% fees on all MC weeks he controls ? Anyone know if he has to follow the same booking procedures as the rest of us?
