10 sample property disclosures questions, answered
Every question above with its correct answer and the reasoning behind it. Read the explanations for the ones you answered correctly too. A lucky guess and knowing the rule look identical on a score report. These are sample questions from our larger bank.
1. The EPA recommends that corrective action be taken when indoor radon reaches or exceeds:
Why: The published EPA action level is 4 picocuries per liter of air; at or above that reading, mitigation of the dwelling is recommended.
2. A Phase I assessment identifies a recognized environmental condition on the site. The logical next step is:
Why: When a Phase I identifies a recognized environmental condition, a Phase II assessment with sampling and testing is used to confirm whether contamination exists and how extensive it is.
3. An owner whose transaction otherwise qualifies for a Fair Housing Act exemption may still be liable if the owner:
Why: The ban on discriminatory advertising, notices, and statements applies to everyone, so no exemption protects an owner who advertises a preference or limitation based on a protected class.
4. A licensee tells a prospect, "This is the most charming kitchen on the whole street." This statement is best characterized as:
Why: Non-factual sales talk that no reasonable buyer would rely on as a statement of fact is puffing and is generally not actionable. A false statement about a verifiable fact, such as the age of the roof, would instead be misrepresentation.
5. Which statement belongs in the federal Lead Warning Statement documentation besides the hazard warning?
Why: EPA requires confirmation of compliance with the disclosure requirements. That confirmation is not a warranty that lead is absent or that all future work is safe.
6. A property manager is leasing a unit in a 1962 building to a family with young children. Regarding the lead-based paint rule, the manager must:
Why: Lessees must receive the disclosure, the pamphlet, and the required lease attachment, but the 10-day opportunity to inspect applies to purchasers rather than tenants. Waivers of liability for lead hazards are not permitted.
7. Planned remodeling will disturb suspected asbestos insulation. What professional step fits EPA guidance before the work proceeds?
Why: EPA calls for professional handling when changes may disturb asbestos-containing material. Ordinary renovation work or an agent's informal sampling can create exposure.
8. The most common method of reducing elevated radon levels in an existing house is:
Why: Radon is normally controlled by sub-slab depressurization, which draws soil gas from beneath the slab and discharges it outdoors above the roof. Sealing cracks alone is only a supporting measure.
9. A tenant with a visual impairment asks the landlord to waive a building no-pets policy so the tenant may keep a guide dog. This request is for:
Why: Waiving or adjusting a rule, policy, or service is a reasonable accommodation, and the landlord may not impose a pet deposit or pet fee for an assistance animal.
10. A pre-1978 vacation lease lasts 80 days and cannot be renewed or extended. Which federal lead-rule exception may apply?
Why: The exception combines a maximum 100-day term with no possible renewal or extension. Vacation use alone would not qualify a longer or renewable lease.
Where this weighting comes from
Weightings come directly from the test provider’s published examination content outline for the national portion of the salesperson exam. PSI publishes percentages only; Pearson VUE publishes scored-item counts only. PSI and Pearson VUE use different content taxonomies, so their weightings are not interchangeable and should not be averaged. Check which provider administers your state’s exam, and confirm against the current candidate handbook before you study. Outlines are revised periodically and older versions stay in circulation online. View the PSI outline.
