What MUST a salesperson licensee convicted of a felony do?
Correct : C
According to 49 Pa. Code 35.288 under 'Reporting of Crimes and Disciplinary Actions', all licensees in Pennsylvania are required to notify the Pennsylvania Real Estate Commission in writing within 30 days of any felony or misdemeanor conviction.
A licensee does not automatically lose their license upon conviction, but the Commission will review the case and may take disciplinary action such as suspension or revocation of the license.
Failing to report the conviction within the required time may result in additional penalties.
Immediate license surrender (Option A) is not required.
Discussing with the broker (Option B) is not a sufficient step since the official duty is to inform the Commission.
Terminating all activities (Option D) is not an automatic requirement unless the Commission suspends or revokes the license.

What MAXIMUM length of time may a salesperson's real estate license be inactive before reactivation ceases to be possible without retaking and passing the licensing examination?
Correct : D
If a real estate license is inactive for more than 5 years, the licensee must retake and pass the licensing exam to reinstate their license.
49 Pa. Code 35.251 (Relicensure Following Revocation or Inactive Status) states that a licensee who has been inactive for over 5 years must complete all initial licensing requirements again, including the exam.
A licensee can keep their license in inactive status indefinitely, but after 5 years, it requires reexamination.
Why the other answers are incorrect:
Option A (2 Years) & Option B (3 Years): Licensees may reactivate their license within this period without retaking the exam.
Option C (4 Years): The limit is 5 years, not 4.

Correct : C
Under 49 Pa. Code 35.332 (Exclusive Listing Agreements), all listing agreements must specify the services provided, the duration of the agreement, and the compensation of the broker. However, there is no requirement to include the broker's license number.
A listing agreement must clearly state the terms under which the broker will perform services and how they will be compensated.
The duration of the agreement must also be specified to prevent misunderstandings.
Why the other answers are incorrect:
Option A (Description of Services): This is a required component of the listing agreement.
Option B (Duration of Listing): A listing agreement must have a start and end date.
Option D (Broker's Compensation): Compensation must be clearly stated in the listing agreement.

Which of the following phrases in a rental ad may be permissible?
Correct : C
Under The Federal Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. 3604) and the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act (PHRA), it is illegal to discriminate against renters or buyers based on family status, which includes children. However, age-restricted housing is allowed under certain conditions.
Housing communities designated as '55 and older' or '62 and older' are legally permitted under the Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA), provided they meet federal guidelines.
Option C (Creek Village - an Age-Restricted Community) is lawful because it indicates compliance with HOPA, meaning at least 80% of residents are over 55.
Why the other answers are incorrect:
Option A (Children 12 and Older Only): Discriminating against families with young children violates the Fair Housing Act (FHA).
Option B (Adults Only Building): Landlords cannot prohibit families with children from renting.
Option D (All Couples Apartment Building): This discriminates against single renters and violates fair housing laws.
