Property Ownership and Land Use Practice Question

Question

A listing agent notices a potential compliance issue involving nonconforming use. Which response best protects the client and keeps the transaction compliant? (Item 171)

Answer choices

1. A. It is valid only when the buyer pays cash and no lender is involved.
2. B. It prevents any later disclosure, even when new facts become known.
3. C. Identify a lawful preexisting use that may continue after zoning changes.
4. D. It applies only to commercial property and never to residential transactions.

Correct Answer

C. Identify a lawful preexisting use that may continue after zoning changes.

Explanation

The correct answer is C because nonconforming use requires candidates to identify a lawful preexisting use that may continue after zoning changes. The other options overstate the effect of custom, oral agreement, escrow, or independent salesperson action and do not reflect safe California exam practice.
