Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
An agent compares two similar exam concepts for the Michigan Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving lead-based paint and Michigan occupational licensing regulation. Which response best applies the rule? (Item 201)
Answer choices
- A. Apply federal disclosure concepts for pre-1978 residential housing in a way that fits Michigan exam practice.
- B. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
- C. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
- D. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
Correct Answer
A. Apply federal disclosure concepts for pre-1978 residential housing in a way that fits Michigan 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 Michigan 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.
