Contracts, Transfer, and Escrow Practice Question
Question
A property manager is preparing a written response involving rescission. Which statement best describes rescission? (Item 91)
Answer choices
- A. It is controlled only by local custom rather than by law, contract, or professional duty.
- B. It is valid only when the buyer pays cash and no lender is involved.
- C. Recognize cancellation that returns parties to their pre-contract positions.
- D. It prevents any later disclosure, even when new facts become known.
Correct Answer
C. Recognize cancellation that returns parties to their pre-contract positions.
Explanation
The correct answer is C because rescission requires candidates to recognize cancellation that returns parties to their pre-contract positions. The other options overstate the effect of custom, oral agreement, escrow, or independent salesperson action and do not reflect safe California exam practice.
