How to Rent out Your Timeshare - Timeshare Rental Guide for Owners!

looked back at your listing and noticed you did not renew it, thus it expired after 90 days last year (and no rentals posted for this year)

chances of finding a renter decrease dramatically if the listing isnt posted!
Should rental listings perhaps expire on the day of checkin vs. 90 days from when it gets listed?

the problem with that is that so few owners come back to mark a rental or resale as completed, thus resulting in complaints from people where they reached out to a TUG member for a listing only to discover it was sold/rented long ago. (heck we even get these complaints with the 90 day rule)

90 days ensures that every single listing is available/current as reasonably possible.

We send out email reminders 10 days before a listing is expired, a week AFTER a listing is expired... and then a reminder email every other month or so to anyone who has an expired listing with a future check in date (ie if its not rented or sold, please renew it).

sure itd be awesome for marketing if we just ran listings forever, we could boast tens of thousands of owner to owner listings! but the vast majority would be useless for a buyer/renter.

This works well for me: because of the automated notices notifying me it is time to renew or cancel, I don't have to keep track of it. easy-peasy!

Thank you for reminding me. I have tried posting and renting here in the past with no luck.

I went back to look at some previous rentals and found they all expired after 90 days? We would hope that a rental still available would be renewed so it could continue to be listed on the marketplace.

I see you did renew your other listing and do hope you find a renter! (note id certainly mention its an oceanfront view in the ad title)

To answer your question regarding the 90 days... I try to rent if I realize I wont use my unit. Usually after 90 days its too close to losing value in a trade with II , so I end up banking it with II and then have 2 years to trade into something else.
 
If you google 'timeshare cancellation courses', you will end up in a rabbit hole of timeshare scams.
The only 'timeshare cancellation course' you need is: you signed a contract. There is no magic wand to make it disappear. Your choices to get rid of it are: get somebody else to take it over, give it back if they will take it, or default on your financial obligations for maintenance fees or mortgage.

No fee required for the above 'timeshare cancellation course'. You are welcome....
I learned this the hard way. I decided I didn't want mine (death of my spouse, financial changes, etc) and got a company to tell me, "We will cancel your timeshare." Based on that statement and a 3 year money- back guarantee I paid a large sum for their services. After 2+ years of them writing horribly accusatory letters (mostly untrue) that I copied, pasted, and sent to my timeshare with my name attached, I finally said "uncle" and called off the hounds.
You said it, I signed a contract. And it's air-tight. I grew up and faced the truth.
Not only that, it's actually a gorgeous place in the Caribbean that I've resumed using or renting yearly. I'm actually there now.
Thanks for the advice.
