Which situation is NOT covered by a claim to the Real Estate fund?

  1. Fraud by a licensee

  2. Nondisclosure of material facts

  3. Failure to pay rent

  4. Misrepresentation of property value

The correct answer is: Failure to pay rent

The correct choice reflects a situation that falls outside the coverage of claims to the Real Estate fund. The Real Estate fund is designed to provide financial relief to consumers who have suffered losses due to the misconduct of real estate licensees, such as fraud, nondisclosure of material facts, or misrepresentation. In contrast, failure to pay rent is a situation that typically falls under landlord-tenant law and is considered a contractual issue between the landlord and tenant. It does not pertain to the professional conduct of real estate licensees in the same way that fraud, nondisclosure, or misrepresentation do. The Real Estate fund aims to protect consumers from the unethical behavior of real estate professionals, rather than addressing disputes related to rental agreements, which are usually resolved through other legal avenues such as eviction proceedings or civil suits.
