A: I don't know if Maryland law requires this, but these transactions are usually governed by the law where the sale takes place. For example, if you purchase a timeshare in Florida, you're not required to take a tour of the resort. However, the state of your residence may dictate that the purchase agreement have specific disclosures, but I've never heard that any states have tour requirements.

A: Taking tours, sitting through sales presentations, attending lunch meetings, and similar forms of participation could be conditions of the timeshare company. A person has a choice not to stay at the resort and not be part of those sales approaches. Good luck
