What is a lockout or lock-off unit?
A “lockout” or “lock-off” unit is a timeshare property which can be divided into two complete sections so that two different parties may occupy either half at the same time. These timeshares come in many sizes and have 2 distinct living and sleeping areas. If an Owner buys a lockout unit, they can stay in the whole unit or divide the unit and stay in one half of the unit and rent the other half or rent both halves to different parties. A lock out unit that can be split in half would have two front doors and be totally independent of each other. There are different rules regarding the lock-off units through the exchange companies. Check with the exchange company to see if the unit you own will exchange for two weeks. They will also tell you what size unit you will get for each week.
