Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A property manager asks how a rule affects a rental property for the Washington Real Estate Broker Exam involving environmental hazards and agency law pamphlet concepts. Which response best applies the rule? (Item 76)
Answer choices
- A. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.
- B. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
- C. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
- D. Recognize issues such as mold, asbestos, radon, contamination, flood, or fire risk in a way that fits Washington exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Recognize issues such as mold, asbestos, radon, contamination, flood, or fire risk in a way that fits Washington 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 Washington 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.
