Did you know that a private apartment building owner could require tenants to pass drug tests? Did you know that a broker with an exclusive listing contract was entitled to commission after the seller secretly negotiated a sale?
Those are two findings from legal case studies in the IAR September issue of D.R. Legal News for managing brokers.
Summaries of five other case studies include:
- a broker may not act as a broker and attorney in the same transaction;
- fracking plaintiffs fail to hold up drilling applications under new regulations;
- a condominium purchaser was allowed a remedy after closing because of incomplete disclosure;
- a broker had a statutory obligation to remove a listing after learning the seller was not an authorized agent of the owner; and
- an internet provider was required by the Illinois Supreme Court to release the name of an anonymous commenter who posted defamatory remarks.
