California Real Estate Practice Exam

If there's a deed restriction against subdivision, what is true for the landowner?

1. They can subdivide with permission

2. They may not subdivide their land

3. They can ignore the restriction

4. Restriction does not apply if zoning allows

The correct answer is: They may not subdivide their land

The correct answer is B because a deed restriction against subdivision means that the landowner is not allowed to divide their land into smaller parcels, regardless of any other circumstances. A This choice is incorrect because it implies that the landowner can subdivide with permission, but in this scenario, that is not the case. B: This is the correct answer because it accurately reflects the restriction. C: This choice is incorrect because ignoring the restriction would result in the landowner breaking the agreed upon terms of the deed. D: This choice is incorrect because the deed restriction still applies even if the zoning allows for subdivision.
