Elara Westgate resale contract does anyone else own one?

Did you purchase any directly from Westgate? Most timeshare contracts or offering statements or terms and conditions have some kind of language prohibiting commercial activity. Most don't specifically define what they consider commercial activity and may not even enforce that provision. It seems like now they are both defining it and enforcing it. While I suspect some vague language has always been in place prohibiting what you have been doing, I am sure that there is no language in the contracts specifically allowing commercial renting of timeshare units. And while someone who rents out one or two reservations might be able to claim the activity isn't commercial, with 40 units I don't see how you could make such a claim. We live in america and you certainly can try suing but I am not sure you will be successful.

Everything I purchased was on the resale market.

I can't believe they are ruining the market value of the Westgate units by punishing all owners for the actions of a few guests. The owner(s) whose guests caused the problems should be held accountable. Are the Board of Directors owners themselves?

There is not a single Westgate Elara owner on the board, they are all HGV points owners. Working to change this next year.

But we don't know if they are punishing all owners. I think most owners even if they rent one or two won't be on any ones radar unlike the 20-40 week owners.

They are, hearing from others.
