Timeshare Cancellation Laws State by State
All 50 states have specific laws giving you the right to cancel a timeshare purchase. Each state also has a “cooling-off period” or rescission period, which allows you to exit the timeshare contract with no penalties.
States vary in the length of the cooling-off period and the specific method for cancellation. 3 to 15 calendar days are common lengths. You may cancel by returning the contract and all documents for a full refund during this period.
Even after the allowed period has passed, it is still possible to terminate your contract legally. Resort Victory has legal, ethical, and effective strategies to help clients from different parts of the country exit their timeshares.
How to Legally Cancel Your Timeshare Contract?
If you wish to cancel a timeshare contract that you have recently purchased, the very first thing is to ascertain whether you are still within your state’s legal rescission period, and after that, just follow these simple steps. It guarantees that you are protected and your cancellation is legally valid.
1. Carefully Examine Your Contract
You should pay attention to the words “Right to Cancel” or “Rescission,” as they will directly state your exact days of cancellation and point to where you should send your notice. Although it is legally required that timeshare contracts contain this information, a large number of buyers still miss it.
2. Create a Brief Cancellation Letter
Provide a direct cancellation letter that clearly states your intent to cancel. Include and state the following.
Your complete name and personal information.
The number of days since you purchased a timeshare.
The name of the respective resort or developer.
Add a short declaration that shows you want to cancel your timeshare contract within the rescission period. Your letter must be short, simple, and professional. Explaining your reasons for cancellation is unnecessary.
3. Properly Send Your Notice
For cancellation letters, most states expect that they be sent by certified or registered mail to the address stated in the contract. Do not rely upon telephone or email, as written documentation is important.
If you are still at the resort, you may also safely opt to hand the letter to a staff member of the resort and request a signed acknowledgment of receipt.
4. Document Everything
Make sure to retain every copy of your documents: the letter, your receipts of mail, and any of the letters’ tracking documents. This is useful if the developer contests your cancellation.
5. Contact a Professional
If the rescission period has ended, there is still no reason to worry. Resort Victory has successfully assisted many customers in cancelling contracts after that point. Contracts may also be cancelled if the customer has been misled, was pressured into contract signing, or if certain other information was not disclosed to the customer.
