FAQs

How does a timeshare rental work?

A timeshare rental allows you to lease your timeshare property for a specific period. You can set the rental price and terms. The renter pays you for the use of the property during that week. It's important to have a rental agreement that outlines the responsibilities and rights of both parties. This helps protect you legally and ensures clarity on issues like deposits, cancellations, and damages.

Are children liable for parents' timeshare?

Generally, children are not liable for their parents' timeshare obligations unless they are co-signers on the contract. Timeshare agreements are typically binding only on the individuals who signed them. If parents fail to pay fees or fulfill obligations, the timeshare company may pursue the parents, not the children, unless otherwise specified in the agreement.

How do you rent out your Westgate timeshare?
