Owning a timeshare may have seemed like a good idea at first—maybe it promised beautiful vacations or a wise investment. But for many people, it ends up being more of a burden than a benefit. Rising fees, limited usage, and hard-to-sell contracts leave many owners feeling stuck.
At Real Estate Integrity LLC, we believe that you deserve to know your legal rights when it comes to getting out of a timeshare. The process can seem confusing, but with the right guidance, you can take back control.
1. You Have the Right to Cancel (Rescind) Shortly After Signing
In most states, there is a "cooling-off period" after you sign a timeshare agreement. This is your legal right to cancel the contract with no penalties—but the window is short, usually 3 to 10 days. This period is called the rescission period, and the exact timeframe depends on your state’s laws.
If you’re still within this window, you can notify the timeshare company in writing, and they must honor your cancellation.
2. You Have the Right to Be Free From Misleading Sales Tactics
Timeshare sales presentations are often long, high-pressure, and sometimes misleading. Some people are told false promises like:
"This is an investment."
"You can easily resell or rent it out."
"It’s only for today—act now or lose the offer."
These types of false or deceptive statements may violate consumer protection laws. If you were misled or pressured into signing, you may have legal grounds to challenge or cancel the contract—even after the rescission period.
3. You Have the Right to Seek Legal or Professional Help
You do not have to deal with the timeshare company alone. You can hire:
A real estate attorney who specializes in timeshare law
A reputable timeshare exit company like Real Estate Integrity LLC
We help you understand your options, review your contract, and work with legal professionals to protect your interests. You’re allowed to have someone on your side, and that can make a big difference.
4. You Have the Right to Review Your Contract
Timeshare contracts can be long and filled with legal jargon. But as the buyer, you have the right to fully review and understand every term in your agreement. This includes:
Maintenance fees (which often increase over time)
Usage rules and blackout dates
Transfer or exit rules
Inheritance or estate responsibilities
If any part of the contract was hidden or unclear, that could be a red flag. A professional can help spot terms that may violate state or federal laws.
5. You Have the Right to Be Treated Fairly When You Try to Exit
If you try to leave your timeshare, the company may delay, deny, or make the process difficult. But consumer protection laws often require businesses to act fairly and honestly. You have the right to:
Ask for a written explanation if your exit is denied
Receive a copy of your original contract
Be free from harassment or threats over payments
If a timeshare company continues to charge fees, damage your credit, or threaten legal action after a legitimate cancellation attempt, that may be considered unfair or abusive behavior—and you may have the right to file a legal complaint.
