Principles, Property, and Land Use Practice Question
Question
A property manager asks how a rule affects a rental property for the Massachusetts Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving legal descriptions and Massachusetts Board of Registration. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 193)
Answer choices
- A. Distinguish metes and bounds, lot and block, and survey-based descriptions in a way that fits Massachusetts exam practice.
- B. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
- C. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
- D. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
Correct Answer
A. Distinguish metes and bounds, lot and block, and survey-based descriptions in a way that fits Massachusetts exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because legal descriptions requires candidates to distinguish metes and bounds, lot and block, and survey-based descriptions. 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.
