Timeshare Cancellation Rescission Periods
How long
do you actually have to cancel your timeshare after
purchase?
Every state in the USA passes its own laws regarding the amount of
time you have after buying a timeshare property to return it for a
full refund. The process of returning an unwanted timeshare
shortly after purchasing is known as a Timeshare Rescission, or
rescinding. The timeshare rescission process refers directly
to the interval of time that is legally allowed to pass before you
can no longer return a timeshare contract, or change your mind
about your recent timeshare purchase. The ability to return
an unwanted timeshare shortly after purchasing is not something
your timeshare salesperson is likely to mention, but it is built
into every state’s laws or legal code as a protection for
consumers; some people also tend to refer to this time as the
"cooling off period" following the purchase. This time period is
much like the one(s) offered for many major purchases such as a car
and a new home.
