Resale Timeshare Laws in Connecticut

Connecticut requires that anyone who intends to sell timeshare must be a licensed real estate broker. Those advertising timeshare for sale within the state of Connecticut also need to be licensed in order to comply with the state timeshare law.

Connecticut Timeshare Contract Cancellation

§42-103y defines that a buyer has the right to cancel a timeshare contract within three business days of signing. Under this timeshare law, the seller must refund any payments back to the buyer within ten days of canceling the timeshare. To start the process, the purchaser must inform the seller in writing that they wish to cancel.

Timeshare Advertising Scams

The statute 42-103z addresses timeshare advertising and unlawful practices. The law states that a seller may not suggest or predict that the timeshare will increase in price or value in the future. Anyone who does so will be in violation of Connecticut state law. This also declares that any misrepresentation of the timeshare in advertisements or made by the seller to the purchaser will be deemed unlawful in regards to the state’s timeshare law. These include:

• Right to Use
• Services of the Timeshare
• Misrepresentation of Characteristics of the Timeshare
• Speculated Improvements to the Timeshare Plan
