Principles, Property, and Land Use Practice Question
Question
A buyer asks a licensee for an exam-focused explanation for the Pennsylvania Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving variance and state agreement and disclosure practice. What should the licensee understand? (Item 170)
Answer choices
- A. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
- B. Recognize relief from zoning rules due to property-specific hardship in a way that fits Pennsylvania 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. Recognize relief from zoning rules due to property-specific hardship in a way that fits Pennsylvania exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because variance requires candidates to recognize relief from zoning rules due to property-specific hardship. 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.
