How to send a timeshare cancellation letter so it counts

Your 10-day right to cancel

Florida law gives every timeshare buyer 10 calendar days to cancel, counted from the day you signed the contract or from the day you received the public offering statement, whichever is later. This is based on Fla. Stat. 721.10. The developer cannot waive this right, charge you a penalty, or talk you out of it.

Why the letter has to be written and mailed correctly

Florida law requires written notice, sent to the right address, postmarked within the 10-day window. A phone call or a conversation with a salesperson does not count. What controls is the cancellation notice printed in your contract and the postmark on what you mail.

How to send it so it counts

Send it by certified mail with return receipt requested.
Make sure it is postmarked by the deadline — not just written by the deadline.
Also send fax and email copies as backup.
Keep proof: the return receipt, the postmark, and copies of everything you sent.

After you send it

Once a valid cancellation notice goes out, the 20-day refund clock starts. If the developer stalls after that, this tool is built to tell you what to do next as part of the letter and instructions it generates — it does not send anything for you or confirm that the developer received it.

What's not covered here

If your 10 days have already passed, this right no longer applies. A licensed Florida consumer attorney can review your case for other grounds, such as misrepresentation or missing disclosures.
Be careful of "timeshare exit" companies that charge money up front.
Out-of-state or resale purchases may follow different rules than the ones described here.
The material available here doesn't say whether what you type into the tool is stored — that detail is not confirmed.
This tool is not affiliated with any developer, resort, or agency, and this page is not legal advice.

What to do next

Timeshare Rescission FL is a free tool, in English and Spanish, that reads the dates and details from your own contract — when you signed, when you received the public offering statement, the developer's name and address, your contract number, and what you paid. It computes your exact deadline, generates the cancellation letter with the statutory language, and gives you delivery instructions. Confirm your specific situation with a licensed Florida attorney before relying on any deadline.
