I like cake....
nydvc - It is really difficult to understand what happened to you. If you want us to understand, I suggest you write it out like this and be very brief:
And I like clarity and specificity in coherent TUG posts, particularly in those "complaining" about others.
As Mick Jagger once sang in an old Rolling Stones song, "You can't always get what you want"...
nydvc - Those were not questions in my post - I was suggesting that you use that as a model to explain what happened to you. I am going to remove my lines from your post for clarity.
ENUF ALREADY! If you want to warn people off a business, simply say, "I had difficulty renting from______________. It took XX months and I ended up renting from someone else."
And be done with it. The no-name rant is simply sour grapes. OP, you've accomplished nothing except get a load off your chest and learned about renting from a private party who doesn't treat their 'business' as a business. You've warned no one.

I went on wydham owner com and PM member about recomendations for someone to rent points. It was a large pioster. Developed a internet friendship and asked about Him renting. He refered me to this person who he uses. Lets call her F. .
sent couple of emails....no response. contacted friend and received response from F within a hour. traded few emails over next couple of days about renting. A couple of emails from F made it clear I should act fast to make sure I got the size unit I wanted. needed to wait a couple of weeks for 10 month mark. Sent personal details and requested her information to send a deposit. she declined said wait till I get reservation.
Waited to 10 months, sent few emails over 2-3 weeks requesting response. got short email stating she was on vacation and would get back to me next week.
After three additional weeks and at least three emails from me, all polite mind you. Nothing.
Sent email to my friend explaining that I would love to rent from him but would not work with F anymore.
Got email from friend and F. F's email stated she was busy. My reservation was not on top of her list and I should be more understanding. This was 6 weeks after deciding on price, giving her details, AND waiting for the 10 month mark.
I responded that waiting any longer was a ridiculous thought.
Hope this helps.
I do appreciate the posts. I am learning more about renting. thank you.
etc.

do you think this is too minor of an issue to bother with?
You should just move on. If you don't have a reservation within a day or two, move on to the next owner.
If the owner says they can get you something, then say this simple phrase: "If you can get the unit for me by Tuesday, I'll offer you $XXX. If I don't hear from you by Tuesday, I'll assume you can't get it or lost interest in renting to me and I will find another unit to rent from someone else."
Your mistake was tying yourself to a single potential renter. You can't do that on the internet. Buyers and sellers are very flaky. Always give people a deadline .
This is my interpretation of what happened:
-Your rental was small, so the Rental Agent was making very little money on it - she may have been doing it as a favor to her client (the owner.)
-The Rental Agent got busy, went on vacation etc., and your little rental went to the bottom of the pile.
-You ratted the Rental Agent off to the owner, he asked her about it, and it was awkward for her, so she was rude to you. (No excuse for that.)
Here is my suggestion with a rental: Don't ever let anyone drag you out this way. If they tell you they will have the reservation at the 10 month mark, and they don't, simply send them one more email telling them you are no longer interested and walk away. Wyndham rentals are a dime a dozen.
Good luck!

"I have attempted to rent from Ruth Hunt with disastrous results. She would email and tell me she would get back to me and never follow through. After weeks of attempting to contact her about this, I got an angry response explaining how "busy" she was and would get with me when she had a chance. If your looking for service I would look elsewhere. "

Hello;
I had a bad experience with an individual timeshare rental person. This person rents other people timeshares and I want to get my experience noted so others may be warned. Are there any options? Is there a forum for posting things like that here or on redweek?
I had such a bad experience I really feel like people should know.
any recommendations?
Thanks for the headsup!
Is this the same Ruth Hunt?

How do people sign up as "Rental Property Managers" on TripAdvisor.com?
A gentle suggestion: for clarity, I'd call her a "rental agent" rather than a renter. In this case, you were the renter.
All I could think of reading this thread is...I wonder if the owner the op was talking about was me... I do use a service to help me rent my points.I dont know if Ruth Hunt works for them or not
[crude joke deleted]
In any case if the op wants to find somebody to rent from, she should just post something on the rentals wanted forum....I bet she gets several private messages offering services
I am responding to this post to say that I have rented to and from Ruth Hunt for many years and all transactions have gone smoothly.
I do not know her personally or how or where she gets her inventory but I think it is important when using someone's name in public that there is a distinction between someone coming off as "rude" versus a "scam", or someone who is trying to harm another person.
I did find this thread a bit hard to follow so I just wanted to post my personal experiences.
JMHO,
Cindy
