Re: Renting a timeshare unit without escrow services

[Q=tracey75] As long as the person renting pays by credit card there is always a chance that they will dispute the charges, and a chance they will win the dispute despite the contract. [/Q] Yes --- this is indeed the fundamental risk an owner assumes with any rental transaction using "escrow". While [b][i]most[/i][/b] tenants are honest, I for one will simply never accept the risk of a dishonest person trying to get themselves a free vacation at my expense by filing a completely bogus and fraudulent credit card charge dispute. Even when the timeshare owner ultimately wins that dispute, it still takes too much time and unwelcome aggravation to prevail. No thank you.
