Question & Answer
Review the question and all answer choices
As soon as practicable after the listing service gets settled in its new location.
A is incorrect because 'as soon as practicable' is too vague and doesn't meet the specific statutory requirement. The law mandates a precise timeframe (7 days) rather than a general standard of reasonableness.
No later than seven calendar days after the move has occurre
Before the move is to occur.
C is incorrect because the notice is required after the move has occurred, not before. Providing notice before the move would be impractical as the new address and telephone number wouldn't be known until after the relocation is complete.
c. Before the move is to occur. d. 60 days prior to the move.
D is incorrect because 60 days prior is the timeframe for notifying the DRE (Department of Real Estate), not clients. The question specifically asks about notice to clients, which has a different timeframe requirement.
Why is this correct?
B is correct because California Business and Professions Code Section 10147 specifically requires rental listing services to provide notice of new address and telephone number to clients within seven calendar days after a move has occurred. This precise timing ensures clients have updated contact information promptly after relocation.
