The Basics You Need To Be Aware Of When You Want To Rent A Timeshare

By Ashis Jain


A timeshare can be very beneficial when it comes to travelling. If you own a timeshare and are not currently using it, you may want to consider renting it out instead of letting the weeks you own pass by. One of the benefits of renting a timeshare is that you can benefit a lot from it, especially if the week you own it has a high demand. If you want to rent a timeshare, some information may come in handy.

The first thing you need to do when renting out your timeshare is to contact the owner or manager of the property. This is especially true if you and the rest of the shareholders with whom you share the property rights do not own the property outright. Some owners and managers place limitations on rental and sublets of timeshares, and may not allow you to rent it out.

The next thing you need to figure out is the amount of fee you are going to charge for the timeshare. Some of the factors to consider here are the amount you pay for the time you are holding the timeshare and the amount you are looking to gain from the timeshare. The neighbors living around can be a valuable source of information for the current rates of similar structured buildings. The owner could also supply you with information on the amount you can charge to a non-owner.

Find out from your schedule the weeks that the timeshare is free for you to rent out. In some cases, especially when you are not the full owner of the timeshare, you may be frustrated with limitations from the owners as to which weeks to rent out, and which ones not to. While some owners may not have a problem with renting the timeshare at any time of the year, others will not accept any exchanges, last call days or renting on bonus.

Advertise your timeshare to attract potential renters. You can do this by posting it on the internet in online classifieds, newspapers, and any other source of potential interest. You can even post it in auction websites where anyone interested can bid on the timeshare for the amount to rent the property. While some websites and newspaper classifieds require a standard fee up front, most do not refund you the cash, even if you do not get a tenant.

A contract is the most important part of renting out a timeshare. Include in the contract, the fees the renter is going to be paying on a weekly basis for the timeshare, the length of time they are going to be staying, and if a deposit is required. The renter may sometimes be inclined to stay for additional weeks, so if this is acceptable, include it in the contract.

When the rental period expires, make sure you inspect the timeshare or have the owners inspect it for any damages before giving out the deposit. Assess whether there is any additional clean up required as well. Be punctual to return the deposit if there are no damages.

While renting out a timeshare can be hectic and time consuming, you can take advantage of the weeks you are not using it to get back some of your investment. Make sure that the purpose for which you sought to purchase your timeshare does not conflict with the purpose for renting. This may attract undesirable heavy fines and taxes.
