Sample letter to cancel a timeshare contract in Florida

Your right to cancel a timeshare in Florida

Florida law gives every timeshare buyer 10 calendar days to cancel the purchase, for any reason, with a full refund and no penalty. The 10 days start from the day you signed the contract, or from the day you received the public offering statement, whichever is later. The developer cannot waive this right, charge you a fee for using it, or talk you out of it. This comes from Fla. Stat. 721.10 and is not legal advice.

What the cancellation letter needs to say

The letter should include:

Written notice — not a phone call or verbal request.
The statutory cancellation language printed in your contract.
Your name, the developer's name and address, and the contract number.
The date you signed and the date you received the public offering statement.
What you paid.

How to send the letter so it counts

Send it by certified mail with return receipt, and make sure it is postmarked by your deadline — the exact address matters. Keep fax and email copies too. Once it's sent correctly, the developer's 20-day refund clock starts.

What happens after you send it

Once your written notice is sent correctly and postmarked in time, the developer has 20 days to refund you. If the developer stalls or refuses, that's a sign to get help. The tool tells you what to do if this happens, but it doesn't send anything for you and can't confirm the developer received it.

If your 10 days have already passed

If the window has closed, a cancellation letter alone can't rescind the contract under this right. A licensed Florida consumer attorney can review your case for other grounds, like 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.

What to do next

Timeshare Rescission FL is a free tool, offered in English and Spanish. Type the date you signed, the date of the public offering statement, the developer's name and address, your contract number, and what you paid. The tool reads your own dates and numbers, computes your exact deadline, generates the cancellation letter with the statutory language, gives you delivery instructions, and tells you what to do if the developer stalls.

This is not legal advice. It doesn't send notices and can't confirm the developer received them. Confirm details with a licensed Florida attorney if you have questions.
