Leasing and Property Management Practice Question
Question
A buyer and seller disagree about a transaction term involving maintenance responsibility. Which response best protects the client and keeps the transaction compliant? (Item 27)
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. Distinguish emergency repair, routine maintenance, and owner authorization.
- D. It prevents any later disclosure, even when new facts become known.
Correct Answer
C. Distinguish emergency repair, routine maintenance, and owner authorization.
Explanation
The correct answer is C because maintenance responsibility requires candidates to distinguish emergency repair, routine maintenance, and owner authorization. The other options overstate the effect of custom, oral agreement, escrow, or independent salesperson action and do not reflect safe California exam practice.
