Property Ownership and Land Use Practice Question
Question
A buyer and seller disagree about a transaction term involving variance. What should a California real estate licensee understand? (Item 132)
Answer choices
- A. It is valid only when the buyer pays cash and no lender is involved.
- B. It prevents any later disclosure, even when new facts become known.
- C. It applies only to commercial property and never to residential transactions.
- D. Recognize relief from zoning rules due to property-specific hardship.
Correct Answer
D. Recognize relief from zoning rules due to property-specific hardship.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because variance requires candidates to recognize relief from zoning rules due to property-specific hardship. The other options overstate the effect of custom, oral agreement, escrow, or independent salesperson action and do not reflect safe California exam practice.
