Humber/Ontario Real Estate Course 2 Exam Practice

When listing a property, if a salesperson suspects the presence of an unused, below-ground fuel storage tank, the correct course of action is to advise the seller to contact a TSSA-certified contractor for guidance. This is the appropriate action because fuel storage tanks can pose environmental risks, such as leaks contaminating the soil and groundwater. A TSSA-certified contractor will be able to assess the situation, determine if there is any leakage or contamination, and provide guidance on proper remediation measures to ensure the property is safe for potential buyers.

Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not address the specific issue of an unused, below-ground fuel storage tank. Option B discusses asbestos, which is a different environmental hazard unrelated to the question at hand. Option C mentions lead-based contamination, which is also a separate issue from fuel storage tanks. Option D references Urea Formaldehyde Foam Insulation (UFFI), which is not relevant to the scenario described in the question.
