Principles, Property, and Land Use Practice Question
Question
A closing coordinator flags an issue before settlement for the Tennessee Affiliate Broker Exam involving restrictive covenants and Tennessee Real Estate Commission. Which answer best reduces risk? (Item 8)
Answer choices
- A. A licensee may give legal conclusions instead of recommending qualified legal advice when uncertain.
- B. A verbal understanding always replaces a written real estate requirement.
- C. The safest practice is to avoid written documentation so fewer questions are raised later.
- D. Recognize private deed or association limits on property use in a way that fits Tennessee exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Recognize private deed or association limits on property use in a way that fits Tennessee exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because restrictive covenants requires candidates to recognize private deed or association limits on property use. The Tennessee 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.
