Part 1: Disclosure Read the following scenarios and answer the questions. 

Scenario 1 

Recently, he was approached by a client who wanted him to appraise then list his property. His client explained to him that they had been renting it out for several years. He went on to explain that one of the tenants had experienced mental health issues recently and had died at the property due to suicide. He told Ravi he wanted to sell the property as soon as possible. 

Scenario 2

Stephanie was approached by a client who had received her flyer in her mailbox. Mrs Brown wanted an appraisal done with a view to selling due to the recent death of her husband. She told Stephanie that her husband had died peacefully surrounded by his family at home a few years ago and that she felt she was ready now to sell, so she could move closer to her daughter now that she was on her own.

Scenario 3

Joshua, who was new to the area, received an appraisal opportunity from a leaflet drop. He met the owner of the vacant property on site, who told him that instead of renting the property out, they wished to sell it as quickly as possible. He went on to say that he just wanted it sold, despite the media coverage of recent events at the property, where the tenant was identified as a drug lord and supplier and user of P (methamphetamines), and where the tenant was killed at the property in a drug-related incident.
