Principles, Property, and Land Use Practice Question

Question

A salesperson notices a possible compliance problem for the Pennsylvania Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving leasehold estate and state agreement and disclosure practice. Which answer best reduces risk? (Item 43)

Answer choices

  1. A. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.
  2. B. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
  3. C. Distinguish a tenant’s possessory interest from ownership of the fee in a way that fits Pennsylvania exam practice.
  4. D. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.

Correct Answer

C. Distinguish a tenant’s possessory interest from ownership of the fee in a way that fits Pennsylvania exam practice.

Explanation

The correct answer is C because leasehold estate requires candidates to distinguish a tenant’s possessory interest from ownership of the fee. The Pennsylvania 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.
