Humber/Ontario Real Estate Course 2 Exam Practice

Which of the following is NOT an indicator of a property being used for illegal growing operations?

1. Moisture stains on walls and ceilings.

2. Numerous roof vents.

3. Plumbing rough-ins at basement level.

4. Stains in circular patterns on basement floors.

The correct answer is: Plumbing rough-ins at basement level.

Plumbing rough-ins at basement level are a common feature in homes and are not necessarily indicative of illegal growing operations. Moisture stains on walls and ceilings, numerous roof vents, and stains in circular patterns on basement floors are all potential indicators of a property being used for illegal growing operations. Moisture stains may suggest excessive humidity from plant growth, numerous roof vents could be used for ventilation of a grow-op, and circular stains on basement floors may indicate the placement of pots or containers for plants.
