Time Share Rentals: A Rentals FAQ for Time Share Properties
Time share rentals are typically done through either the time share owner or the property’s management company. If you’re considering a time share rental for your next vacation, keep reading for a list of frequently asked questions that can help you navigate the sometimes tricky field of time share ownership and rental.
What is a time share?
A time share is a real estate property that is owned by a group of individuals. Most time share ownership structures work by giving owners fixed weeks in any particular area.
A time share owner can usually rent or sell their time share property, but this can depend on their contract with the other owners and, if applicable, their resort or property management company.
What are time share rentals?
Typically, when you rent a time share, you’re renting directly from the owner of that week or period. If a timeshare owner isn’t planning to utilize their property in a given year, they’ll often put it up for rental in an attempt to make money or break even.
How do I find time share rentals?
Most time share resorts and time share facilities offer rental boards for their owners, allowing them to register available weeks and properties to be advertised for rental.
Alternatively, a number of timeshare registry sites offer full database listings of time share rentals. For example, sites like Vacation Timeshare and Rentals (http://www.vacationtimesharerentals.com) or RedWeek.com (http://www.redweek.com) offer extensive listings.
If I own a time share, can I trade instead of renting?
There are a number of time share trade services, like RedWeek.com, that allow timeshare owners to offer trades – exchanging weeks with one another. This gives time share owners a little variety and a chance to check out other properties.
Are there any legal implications to time share rentals?
Before you sign off on any time share rentals, make sure the owner is allowed to rent the property to you for the week offered. A quick phone call to the resort or property management company will help prevent any potential problems with the rental agreement.
