Contracts, Finance, and Transfer Practice Question
Question
A buyer asks a licensee for an exam-focused explanation for the New Jersey Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving prorations and New Jersey disclosure and consumer protection practice. Which response best applies the rule? (Item 162)
Answer choices
- A. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
- B. Allocate recurring expenses such as taxes, rent, interest, or assessments in a way that fits New Jersey exam practice.
- 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
B. Allocate recurring expenses such as taxes, rent, interest, or assessments in a way that fits New Jersey exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because prorations requires candidates to allocate recurring expenses such as taxes, rent, interest, or assessments. The New Jersey 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.
