FYI, the RUF started sometime around 2013 when the budget process was revised making many common expenses into individual building expenses. That change reduced the STSA 15% surcharge. The RUF was implemented to make up the difference. The STSA (SnoWater Time Share Association) surcharge is codified in every time share deed starting from the beginning of the time share association.
Our introduction to SnoWater was Via a short-term rental. Shortly after we rented a unit in the 500 building, which introduced us to the facility, we were able to buy a unit. We do not rent due to the somewhat draconian and ever changing STR rules.
So, if you’re a forum user, I’d encourage you to voice your opinion related to the STR policy.
Thanks, CARESNOW
