Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A property manager asks how a rule affects a rental property for the Oregon Real Estate Broker Exam involving disciplinary grounds and Oregon Real Estate Agency. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 70)
Answer choices
- A. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
- B. Recognize fraud, misrepresentation, trust fund violations, and unlicensed activity as discipline risks in a way that fits Oregon exam practice.
- C. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
- D. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
Correct Answer
B. Recognize fraud, misrepresentation, trust fund violations, and unlicensed activity as discipline risks in a way that fits Oregon exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because disciplinary grounds requires candidates to recognize fraud, misrepresentation, trust fund violations, and unlicensed activity as discipline risks. The Oregon 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.
