Answer choices
- A. It can be ignored if the transaction is expected to close quickly.
- B. Recognize the landlord duty to maintain residential property fit for occupancy.
- C. It requires the licensee to favor the other party over the licensee’s own client.
- D. It is primarily a tax rule with no effect on brokerage practice.
Correct Answer
B. Recognize the landlord duty to maintain residential property fit for occupancy.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because implied warranty of habitability requires candidates to recognize the landlord duty to maintain residential property fit for occupancy. The other options overstate the effect of custom, oral agreement, escrow, or independent salesperson action and do not reflect safe California exam practice.
