The only way to get rid of your timeshare maintenance fees and the other special assessment fees altogether is to
get rid of your timeshare
. Because as long as you own the property, there’s really no way to end the yearly onslaught on your bank account.
If you stop paying your timeshare maintenance fees,
you will likely default on your ownership
. This not only hurts the resort, but it hurts you and your credit. Like a home going into foreclosure, the resort takes the ownership back and it will stay on your credit report.

You can’t just walk away from a timeshare
. That’s because they often come with an obligation to pay maintenance fees for as long as you own them.
- Call the developer.
- Rent it out.
- Sell it on the resale market (expect to take a hit).
- Gift it to a friend, family member or stranger.
- Stop your payments (but expect consequences).
- Avoid scams.
What’s happening with Diamond Resorts?
It’s officially official:

. As we previously reported in March, when the merger was first announced, the deal caused shockwaves through the timeshare industry.
Can you sell your timeshare back to the resort?
Yes, under certain circumstances
. However, most of the timeshare community is on their own if they want a way out. Your last resort options are selling it yourself or receiving help from a trusted timeshare cancellation company.
If a repayment plan isn’t negotiated, the timeshare company might go the route of taking you to court for breach of contract to get a judgment against you and place a lien against the property. Ultimately, they will foreclose on the property.
Canceling your timeshare can also be difficult due to
financial reasons
. Resorts are notorious for encouraging people to make a down payment on a credit card. Putting a substantial investment on your credit card is never a wise idea. Your interest rates will skyrocket, and it’ll take you a while to pay it down.
1. Maintenance fees. The money you pay to maintain the property
may be tax deductible, but only if you rent your timeshare
. If you own the timeshare outright, however, you can’t deduct the maintenance fees.
Leased timeshare ownership will define the number of years you can use the timeshare, usually lasting long-term. On average the lease can expire in
20 – 99 years
.
According to the American Resort Development Association, the 2018 average timeshare maintenance fees
annually
are $1000. However, the cost can vary by the resort, developer, how many points you own, or the size of the unit you own.
