Leasing and Property Management Practice Question

Question

An escrow officer requests clarification from the broker involving estate for years. The parties need a practical answer before moving forward. Which answer best applies the rule? (Item 91)

Answer choices

1. A. It prevents any later disclosure, even when new facts become known.
2. B. It applies only to commercial property and never to residential transactions.
3. C. Identify a leasehold with a definite beginning and ending date.
4. D. It is controlled only by local custom rather than by law, contract, or professional duty.

Correct Answer

C. Identify a leasehold with a definite beginning and ending date.

Explanation

The correct answer is C because estate for years requires candidates to identify a leasehold with a definite beginning and ending date. The other options overstate the effect of custom, oral agreement, escrow, or independent salesperson action and do not reflect safe California exam practice.
