Commerical Use Policy Update - New Thread!

[Sandisw]

You could not win a vote on this thread with that policy, never mind the membership.

Plus, one has to read the POS…declaration explains…to understand how hard it is to even grt to the point that owners can ask the board for a vote.

As long as DVD owns a share, they have to approve any amendment that owners want.

So, pretty much getting the POS changed without the blessing of DVD? Pretty slim.

And, one has to read the POS…declaration explains…to understand how hard it is to even grt to the point that owners can ask the board for a vote.

But, I simply don’t see very many owners out there who would vote to strip away their right to rent.

Plus, this vote would have to be at each individual resort and only resort owners would even be allowed to organize a vote.

Giving up rights is a hard sell, and outside of a few room classes it is not the issue with the general public that people think it is. Add up SSR and OKW and POLY owners and I bet none of them have an 11 month issue.

The more I think about this, the more pissed off I become. I’ll be sending daily emails to member services about this.

I’ll now be pushing for all renting to be eliminated. I will be pursuing a vote, and campaigning for the rank and file to vote to put a halt to all renting.

Life is too short! Don’t forget we still have a fantastic product in DVC and next time you are sat in your favourite villa enjoying yourself none of this will matter.

I’m a little confused about this policy, in all honesty. We make well over 20 reservations a year for ourselves, including split stays three or even four ways in one trip, and rent out on occasion. So, if renting is allowed, how would they have the right to cancel any rentals that fall within the first twenty reservations of any given time period, when 95% of our overall reservations are only us? How is that in any way following the policy of cracking down on commercial renting, when the actual metric should be the overall percentage of self-named versus non self-named reservations?

100% agree with you, the rule as written is silly. I cannot see how someone like you with (say) 19 reservations in his name and 2 rentals is a commercial renter, while someone with 20 rentals is not.
But that is unfortunately how the rule is written.

Interesting I just read that the dvcrentalstore.com is telling their guests if asked during checkin that they refer to themselves as guests of “DVC investments LLC” and not a renter.

I guess that’s how they skirt the rules.

For all the infighting in this thread members on members, saying if only 10% 30% or 60% of points could be rented for personal use, wouldn't crack down on LLCs bring better immediate results, be easier from a legal standpoint, and avoid anyone being caught in friendly fire?
DVC, just send an email to all LLCs saying that at checkin proof of employment is required. Then see what happens and re-evaluate.
