Beach Tags and Rental Properties
As a real estate agent, one of the most common questions I have from upcoming renters is whether or not there are beach tags included with the property. Our policy at the agency I work for is to tell tenants that most likely, there will not be tags there at the property, but if there are, that is a bonus. The reason we give this information to our tenants is because about 15% of the owners will leave tags for their visitors, but there is no guarantee that they will be in the property once the tenants arrive. Other renters may loose, or leave the unit with the tags attached to their towels or bathing suits, and the owners do not replace them once they are gone.
For this reason, we tell our tenants that there is a good chance that there are no tags, but they can be purchased on the beach for $8.00/week or $4.00/day. This way there will be no disappointment or anger if the tags are not available once they arrive. Until we as an agency are guaranteed the tags will be available to our customers, we will continue to tell the truth about the tags.
