Deeded Vs Non Deeded Timeshare

There are two different types of timeshare contracts you can purchase: a deeded ownership and a Right To Use timeshare. With a deeded timeshare, you own an actual fraction of the property through a deed. Right To Use (RTU) gives you the right to vacation at the property. An RTU contract typically has an end date, where a deeded contract is for life.


Timeshare Deeded Vs Right To Use


When considering a deeded vs non deeded timeshare, you'll have to think about what makes the most sense for you. Do you want a say in potential resort maintenance? Go with a deeded ownership. Do you only want to visit your timeshare property for a set number of years? A Right To Use timeshare makes more sense for you.

Deeded Timeshare

Deeded ownership is like traditional real estate ownership in the sense that once you purchase the timeshare, you own it for the rest of your life or until you sell it. At resorts that sell deeded timeshares, once all the units and weeks have been sold, an HOA typically controls the operations of the resort on behalf of all the individual owners. A deeded property timeshare can also be rented, given away, bequeathed to heirs, or sold at the owner’s discretion.

Right To Use Timeshare

By contrast, what is RTU timeshare? Right To Use (RTU) ownership is a system in which you purchase the right to use a specific unit or week at a resort for a set period of time (often between 10 and 50 years). The expiration date for your RTU timeshare is written into your contract, at which time you are no longer legally responsible for the timeshare. With the right to use system, control of the resort never passes to an HOA or other management group; instead, it remains in the developer’s control.
