  • What happens when your RTU expires?

    I own a couple of timeshares in Mexico. Unlike the US, in Mexico you only get the Right to Use for a specified time frame--like 20 years. One of my timeshare RTU's is going to expire in two years. What happens?

    Does it just end? Do they re-sell it to you again. Do they put the screws to you with "release fees" or some other such nonsense?

    In all my years of timesharing, I have never met anyone who has gone through this. Is it just because timesharing is too young and none of these have expired before?

    I suspect that they aren't going to renew because the rumor is that the timeshare will be torn down and rebuilt with a newer ultra-modern and elegant resort that they can sell for many more pesos. I would imagine they will try to entice current owners to "re-up" for the new facility. But again, I have no idea. When I am at the resort and ask, I never get a straight answer. And there is nothing about it in my sales contract (I bought resale on E-Bay, so everything is sketchy in this area.)

    Any help from timeshare vets out there???

    When it ends - it ends. The Royals have a residual return clause, but most just end. They may try to resell (a new RTU) or rebuild and resell, but basically you are off the hook.

      And it can be the DVC model where you will pay some of the highest annual fees in the industry right up until the last year when DVC gets the perfect unts back to resell and you get zilch. Thats why resale of DVC will go down as the RTU dates get closer (it's already started on the older DVC resorts). But you are "out" of the picture as of the end of the RTU.

        Thanks for the replies--but what is a DVC model? Is that a resort group like UVC? I'm not familiar with them.

            You get out of having to pay all the fees!
