Effective DVC Point Rental Agreements

[gmi3804]

At the end of the contract it has

This contract shall be governed under, interpreted, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of ______

What state do you use here? The state where the deed is, the state of the owner, or the state of renter?

Why do this at all? I keep mine really simple: Date, what I’m providing, what you’re paying, cancellation terms, and signatures with dates. That’s an enforceable contract. Any changes must be made in writing and signed/initialed and dated by both parties. End of story.

Your state. If you have to sue, you want your own state's laws to be applicable.

@JoshF This is my template that I use: dvc_rental - Dropbox
You will need to just make a couple of minor updates to it to bring it up to date.

If the renter desires to have charging privileges on their room key, they will need to provide some sort of payment guarantee (like cash or a credit card), but in the event that there is some irregularity with the final statement, the member may still be held liable. There was a recent report of a member not being allowed to make a reservation while a discrepancy was resolved regarding a recent reservation involving a family member's room charges. In this case, the situation was finally resolved, but ultimately the member may be held responsible for any actions (charges/damages) of anyone using a reservation made using their points.

To add one more data point to this - I recently rented points to stay at Poly, and we had a issue with the Moorea laundry machines that resulted in a credit to my folio, but AFTER the balance had already been paid via my card on file. The credit balance was refunded to me (on that same card). I briefly wondered if the credit would end up going back to the person I rented from, but it didn't.
