New to time share rentals (by KC):

You might want to ask this person VERY specifically if she is renting out an "exchange" that she has obtained from RCI or II. That practice is clearly prohibited by BOTH of those exchange companies and if that's what she is attempting to do it could result in loss of her RCI or II membership and, more important to you, potential denial of occupancy if caught.

I'd be asking more questions to determine if this person is renting out something that she doesn't even actually own in the first place. Unless she is a licensed broker acting on behalf of an owner with owner knowledge and authorization, or a points owner in a system (e.g. Wyndham, etc.) I don't see how she can possibly rent out what she doesn't even own. Proceed with caution.

I am trying to rent a time share through a woman on redweek and she is asking that I send her the check to her. However she is not the owner of the time share. This is all to me and I don't want to be naive about this process. MY questions are: Is this normal? Are there typically a contract or written agreement? What other things should I know about how I rent a time share? Thank you so much for your feedback!!
