Answer:

b. i’m sorry, but the transfer disclosure statement covers all material facts that must be disclosed, and a person having aids is not a material fact, whether or not it would be applicable in this situation.

Explanation:

A seller’s disclosure statement is essentially a checklist in which a seller indicates the condition of the different features of a property, any known problems affecting the property, and any pending legal issues.

The laws require a seller to disclose what is personally known about the home, including any imperfections.

This could include things like water damage, pest damage, past repairs, past insurance claims, any history of property line disputes, if sellers are involved in bankruptcy proceedings and if there any liens on the property.

Therefore the suitable response to clark's query will be that the transfer disclosure statement covers all material facts that must be disclosed, and a person having aids is not a material fact, whether or not it would be applicable in this situation.

Answer: B. i’m sorry, but the transfer disclosure statement covers all material facts that must be disclosed, and a person having aids is not a material fact, whether or not it would be applicable in this situation.

Explanation: According to the state law on transfer disclosure statement, all material facts that affect the value or desirability of the property must be disclosed to the buyer.

A fact will generally be deemed material if it has a significant and measurable effect on the value of the property.

Details that you do not need to be disclose include whether a prior occupant had Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) or whether someone died on the property.
