If I rent a week but will only use 4 nights, can I rent the remaining 3 nights to someone else on Redweek? If not, do you have any other suggestions? Thank you.

Most rental contracts specifically prohibit any "sub-lease". Unless you encounter a (extremely unusual) rental contract that allows you (the tenant) to sub-lease, you should obviously assume that a timeshare week you do not personally own is not yours to rent out to anyone else without having very clear and overt authorization from the owner to do so.

Owners pay annual maintenance fees for each individual timeshare week that they own, whether they use that week themselves, or rent it out, or whether it just ends up sitting empty for the week. It's likely that your only option is to ask the owner for a reduced rental rate since you can only use 4 of the 7 nights. However, most owners would not agree to such a request. After all, any such "reduced rate" could end up being less than the amount of their annual maintenance fee bill for that week. Many owners don't seek to "profit" from renting out weeks they own but can't use in any given year and may be content to just "break even", but no timeshare owner ever seeks or wants to lose money in a rental.
