Hello TUG members, I have a question. In the past I have rented timeshares from people I found here on TUG and have used Redweek also on a few occasions. I have always rented from owners. Over the past few years I have rented at Westgate TownCenter/Vacation Villas because my family loves their waterpark. However, being Westgate, they always have some crazy stipulation in use of their waterpark. The waterpark usage is "free"but only for "owners" at Vacation Villas/TownCenter. If you own at any of the other Westgates there is still a daily use fee. If you are a non-owner of any Westgate the daily fee is higher. Even if you are a guest of an owner, there is still a daily fee unless you are "related" to the owner. It's crazy. Anyway the person I usually rent from doesn't have any weeks available for me to use this year so I am on the hunt for an owner to rent from. When I do find decent rates and I contact the person offering the rental I find they are not owners at all but they are saying they can still get what I am looking for. So my question is ......are people allowed to rent a unit to someone when they don't own at that resort. I'm not just referring to Westgate. Can you book using timeshare points or an exchange and then rent the unit to someone else? Is that acceptable? I am afraid to rent from a non-owner. I know TUG members will clear this all up for me so I will have the knowledge I need. Thanks in advance.
