Principles, Property, and Land Use Practice Question
Question
A client asks whether a fact should be disclosed for the Michigan Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving variance and agency and trust-money compliance. What should the licensee understand? (Item 110)
Answer choices
- A. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
- B. Recognize relief from zoning rules due to property-specific hardship in a way that fits Michigan exam practice.
- 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
B. Recognize relief from zoning rules due to property-specific hardship in a way that fits Michigan exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because variance requires candidates to recognize relief from zoning rules due to property-specific hardship. 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.
