DVC rental contract requirements by Disney?

[CarolinaMike]

Hi! Can someone help me? It was at one time on the DVC member site that a contract was required by DVC for members renting out their points what it needed to include. I can't find it now. Does someone or Mod have a link or more info? Thanks!

It is actually in the member contract when you buy.

You need a contract. That said, Disney didn't say anything about terms, just that you had to have one.

Thanks Yes- but I used to could find reference to it on their website. Trying to find that reference. It was there somewhere.

I concur that it's in the POS and just states that an owner must use a rental contract if they rent out a reservation. Nothing about what needs to be in it. Off the top of my head it was more towards the end of the POS.

In the Condominium Rules and Regulations, an exhibit to the Declarations, you will find the following (from BWV, others same or simllar):

"All leasing or rental agreements relating to the use, occupancy and possession of any Vacation Home must be in writing and must set forth the acknowledgment and consent on behalf of the lessee-sublessee-tenant to use, occupy, and possess such Vacation Home in conformance and compliance with the Condominium Documents and these Condominium Rules and Regulations."

Mainly, it is a clause that means the tenant cannot do anything the member would be prohibited from doing by the condo documents and rules, such as having pets, making too much noise, decorating the balconies with drying towels, destroying anything. It also means that the tenant acknowledges knowing things he may not really know about such as the lack of daily room service,

As to what should be in a contract, you should probably do a search for sample DVC contracts you can find online from those who often do rentals, including because there are a number of things you need to think through to make sure they are covered such as timing of payment, whether the tenant can or cannot get money back if the tenant cancels or the resort shuts down because of a health problem, the lack of daily service, that the tenant is prohibited from asking for an upgrade to larger or better view room room at check-in (if granted the member would actually be charged the extra points for that upgrade), and other things.
