Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A property manager asks how a rule affects a rental property for the Massachusetts Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving lead-based paint and Massachusetts Board of Registration. Which answer best reduces risk? (Item 153)
Answer choices
- A. Apply federal disclosure concepts for pre-1978 residential housing in a way that fits Massachusetts exam practice.
- B. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
- C. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.
- D. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
Correct Answer
A. Apply federal disclosure concepts for pre-1978 residential housing in a way that fits Massachusetts exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because lead-based paint requires candidates to apply federal disclosure concepts for pre-1978 residential housing. The Massachusetts reference keeps the scenario tied to state licensing practice, while the other options rely on unsafe assumptions about oral custom, escrow, client preference, independent licensee authority, or ignoring written duties.
