Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A property manager asks how a rule affects a rental property for the New Jersey Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving environmental hazards and New Jersey Real Estate Commission. Which response best applies the rule? (Item 156)
Answer choices
- A. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
- B. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.
- C. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
- D. Recognize issues such as mold, asbestos, radon, contamination, flood, or fire risk in a way that fits New Jersey exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Recognize issues such as mold, asbestos, radon, contamination, flood, or fire risk in a way that fits New Jersey exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because environmental hazards requires candidates to recognize issues such as mold, asbestos, radon, contamination, flood, or fire risk. 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.
