Humber/Ontario Real Estate Course 2 Exam Practice

What must an advertisement include when mentioning comparative claims according to REBBA?

1. Source details supporting the claim

2. Past records for comparison

3. Generic disclaimers

4. Calculations used

5. Approval from Registrar

6. Avoid usage of comparative claims

The correct answer is: Source details supporting the claim

In Ontario, under REBBA (Real Estate and Business Brokers Act), when an advertisement mentions comparative claims, it must include source details supporting the claim. This means that any statements comparing one product or service to another must have evidence or data to back them up. This requirement helps ensure that any comparative claims made in ads are accurate and not misleading. Options B, C, D, and F are incorrect because they do not directly relate to the specific requirement for comparative claims in advertisements as outlined by REBBA. Option E is also incorrect as approval from the Registrar is not explicitly required for including comparative claims in advertisements.
