So echino just listed another reason why people hate timeshares and want to dump them. If you own real estate (deeded), and you cannot use that timeshare (real estate), then you should be able to rent your timeshare. If not, how are you going to recover your MF's. You would just lose MF's. I have seen such language in timeshare contracts, and no one is enforcing it.
Think of the outrage you would see on TUG, if owners couldn't rent what they cannot use next year. And we love timeshare and dislike exit companies. So it's true that the language is there. It was even reinforced with my resale Shell points, which I got for free with free use. I got a separate letter telling me I could not rent my ownership.
I still have to say that developers get new blood (victims) all of the time from my renters, but I warn them that I got my points free and could tell them how to do what I did. NOT ONE person has taken me up on it. I have rented to at least 50 people over the last 8-10 years. Most are repeat customers.
