Timeshare Renters

[Aubrie3]

Soooo I'm curious if there are restrictions on hosts renting out/listing their timeshare properties on AirBNB. 

I was looking at renting a spot in Charleston, SC. I found a floor layout I liked on the timeshare website then messaged the host via AirBNB app inquiring if the layout I want to rent is available since the listing on AirBNB was limited and a copy/paste listing with no indication of what layouts any of the listings are. 

I think that a timeshare owner legally cannot rent out their "rented" property on AirBNB because in this loophole the host does not have to pay state lodging tax (where applicable, 2% in SC) since they don't actually own the property and are effectively just renters subletting on AirBNB inflating the rental price to make big $$$ all while evading state taxes. 

Asking for a friend!

@Aubrie3   Airbnb doesn't care whether a listing is illegal. But if book a stay knowing it's a sublet and likely against the rules/bylaws, there's a big risk you'll have a problematic stay.
