A tenant operating a bakery installed a commercial oven that is bolted to the floor and connected to gas lines. The lease permits trade-fixture removal, and the oven can be removed before lease expiration without material damage. The landlord claims it automatically became part of the building. Which conclusion is most accurate?
Correct answer: B - The oven remains the tenant's trade fixture if removed on time and any damage is repaired.
An owner wants to place a garage closer to the side lot line than zoning allows because the parcel's unusual shape creates a hardship. The proposed use itself is permitted. Which relief is most appropriate?
Correct answer: A - A variance from the dimensional requirement
A competent owner signs and acknowledges a quitclaim deed, delivers it to the grantee, and the grantee accepts it. The grantee does not record the deed. As between the owner and grantee, which statement is correct?

A buyer offers $480,000 with a June 15 closing. The seller signs and returns the offer after changing the closing date to June 30. The buyer then signs the original June 15 terms. What is the legal effect?
Correct answer: C - The seller counteroffered; the buyer's later signature on the original terms created a new offer.
Before closing, a buyer learns that the seller intentionally concealed repeated basement flooding to induce the purchase. The buyer has not yet elected a remedy. Which classification best fits the signed sales contract at that moment?
Correct answer: B - Voidable at the buyer's option because fraud induced assent.
With written consent, a licensee acts as dual agent. The seller privately says, 'I would accept $20,000 less,' and the licensee also knows from an inspection report that the foundation has a material structural defect. Without further consent, which information must the licensee keep confidential from the buyer?
Correct answer: D - The seller's willingness to accept less

A residential radon test reports 3.2 pCi/L. The buyer asks whether federal guidance requires the transaction to stop. Which answer is accurate?
Correct answer: B - Below 4.0 pCi/L, but EPA says mitigation may be considered above 2.0 pCi/L.
A mortgage applicant gives a creditor the applicant's name, income, Social Security number, property address, and estimated property value, but has not stated the loan amount sought. Under TRID, which conclusion follows?
