Timeshare Rescission Deadline
Rescission is the only exit that gives you every dollar back, and it closes in days. Pick your state and the date you signed. You get a conservative act-by date and the statute behind it. Where we could not verify a statute, this tool says so instead of guessing.

The public offering or disclosure statement. Leave blank if you got it at signing. In many states a late delivery gives you more time, not less.

This tool returns a conservative act-by date, not a legal opinion. Send your notice well before it.
Holidays are not computed, and some states extend a deadline that lands on a Sunday or a legal holiday. Business-day counts here skip Saturdays and Sundays only. Treat the date above as the latest you should act, never as the last day you can. This is general information, not legal advice.
Frequently Asked Questions
Usually the state where the resort sits, and your contract normally says which law governs. It is often not the state you live in, and it is almost never the state the salesperson called from. If the contract names a state, use that one.
In many states the clock starts on the later of signing or receiving the public offering statement. A developer who was slow with the paperwork may have handed you more time than you think. In a few states the window does not start at all until the documents arrive.
Because we checked and could not find a timeshare rescission law there, or the statute usually cited turned out to be repealed or to govern something else. Rather than publish a number we cannot support, we tell you and point you at your contract and a licensed attorney. Every fifty-row table you will find elsewhere in this category is published by someone selling timeshare exits.
Almost certainly not. The FTC's Cooling-Off Rule covers many sales made at your home or at a seller's temporary location, which describes a timeshare presentation, but it excludes sales involving real estate. A deeded timeshare is real estate. Do not let anyone tell you the federal rule has you covered.
By the method your contract specifies, to the address it specifies, inside the window. Proof of delivery matters more than wording. The FTC's general advice for canceling a sale is certified mail with a return receipt. Our rescission page walks through what a valid notice contains.
