Question #: 11
Topic #: 2
A person is employed by a real estate owner to manage a multifamily residential property. Which of the following activities is the person permitted to perform without a real estate license?
A.
Provide information on rental amounts and building rules and regulations.
B.
Enter into leases on behalf of the owner.
C.
Negotiate terms and conditions of occupancy.
D.
Hold money belonging to tenants other than on behalf of the owner.
Under49 Pa. Code § 35.201 (Definitions), an unlicensed individual who is directly employed by a property owner can perform certain tasks, such as providing rental information and enforcing building rules, but they cannot engage in leasing or negotiation activities.
Providing information on rental amounts and building rules is considered administrative and does not require a real estate license.
However, negotiating leases, collecting rents on behalf of third parties, or holding security deposits in a non-owner-controlled account would require a real estate license.
Why the other answers are incorrect:
Option B (Entering into Leases):Only a licensed real estate broker or a supervised salesperson can legally execute lease agreements on behalf of a landlord.
Option C (Negotiating Terms):Negotiating lease terms is an activity that requires a real estate license.
Option D (Holding Tenant Funds Independently):Handling tenant funds outside of the owner's direct control is a brokerage activity and requires a real estate license.
