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.

Next, find out how much you are going to charge for the timeshare. This will depend on a number of factors, among them being the fee charged to you for the weeks you are in possession of the timeshare and the amount you are looking to gain from the timeshare. You can ask around the neighborhood to find out the up to date rates for similar houses, or call the owner to inquire on the fee you should charge a non-owner.

Review your schedule before advertising to find out which weeks are available to you, and which ones you can rent out. One particular disadvantage of owning a timeshare without full possession is that the rightful owner may have limitation on renting out the property to an outside party. Some owners may be considerate about this option, but others are quite firm on the matter and will not accept exchanges, last call days or renting on bonus.

When you have determined that the timeshare is free to be rented out, the next step is to advertise it. You could do this by either posting the advert in online classifieds or newspapers, or any other source of potential interest. Auction websites have been known to attract potential clients where an interested party bids on the amount they wish to pay for the week. The demerit is that you may be charged an upfront charge, which is normally nonrefundable even if you do not get a tenant.

The most crucial part in renting out a timeshare is designing a contract. Among some of the things you should include in the contract are the fees for the timeshare, the date for checking in and checking out, as well as the deposit required, if there is. If there is a possibility of extension into additional weeks, let this be included in the contract too.

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.
