Right to use has two flavors, perputual use versus one with an expiration date. Pertpetual use is as good as a deed and is very popular in the Caribbean where deeding is very difficult and costly. In the USA, folks with leases get spcial protections not normally available to lease holders due to timeshare-specific consumer protection legislation Reagan signed into law in 1986. So it is largely a lie told by timeshare sales folks of deeded properties that they are "better". Most leases give you all the rights of a deed from the beginning including the rights to rent, sell, or bequeath your lease rights to your heirs. John Faeth Faeth Closing Services Inc.
