Tennessee Timeshare Laws

Timeshare laws for the state of Tennessee can be found within the Tennessee Code starting at Title 66, Chapter 32, Part 1. This section is known as the Tennessee Time-Share Act of 1981. The laws in this act that are related to instruments for timeshare estates can be found at Title 66, Chapter 32, Sec. 66-32-106, while the laws relating to escrow of deposits can be found at Title 66, Chapter 32, Sec. 66-32-113. There are extensive protections for timeshare property buyers that are outlined in the rules within the Tennessee Time-Share Act of 1981 and they are designed to protect consumers and can result in legal liability for developers if they don’t follow the rules listed.

In the state of Tennessee, timeshare developers are required to give buyers a copy of a public offering statement. A public offering statement is a document that contains a number of important disclosures that must be made to the buyer before a timeshare sale is made. These disclosures include:

• A brief description of the project
• The name and address of the developer
• Any initial or special fees due at closing
• A description of any liens, defects, or encumbrances on the title of the timeshare

The laws that describe all of the mandatory disclosures that need to be made to timeshare property buyers can be found at Title 66, Chapter 32, Sec. 66-32-112 of the Tennessee Code.

Rescission Period

In the state of Tennessee, you have 10 days to rescind a timeshare purchase from the date of the execution of the purchase contract and receipt of the public offering statement if you as the purchaser was able to make an on-site inspection of the property. This rescission period extends to 15 days if you did not make an on-site inspection. Tennessee timeshare law even provides that you can void a contract at any time until you receive the public offering statement. These Tennessee timeshare laws can be found in the Tennessee Time-Share Act at Title 66, Chapter 32, Sec. 66-32-114.
