Why Timeshare Companies Make It So Hard to Cancel Your Contract

Understanding the tactics and how to overcome them

Timeshare companies don't want you to leave. They use aggressive tactics to keep owners locked into long-term contracts, even when they no longer want or need their timeshare. Here's why canceling a timeshare is so difficult—and how to fight back.

1. Perpetual Contracts and Legal Barriers

Many timeshare contracts are designed to last forever—even passing ownership to your heirs. The wording often makes it seem like cancellation isn't possible, but in reality, legal exits exist.

2. High-Pressure Retention Tactics

If you try to cancel, expect aggressive pushback:

  • "You can rent it out!"

    But the rental market is oversaturated.

  • "Just upgrade your membership!"

    This only locks you in further.

  • "We'll give you a discount!"

    You're still stuck paying long-term fees.

3. Misinformation from Resorts

Timeshare companies may tell you that exit is impossible or that you must keep paying indefinitely. This is false. In many cases, there are legal grounds for cancellation.
