What must Seller A do regarding the deck when she decides to sell her house?

  1. Nothing

  2. Remove the deck

  3. Advise the buyer of the situation

  4. Obtain a retrospective building permit

The correct answer is: Advise the buyer of the situation

Seller A must advise the buyer of the situation regarding the deck if she decides to sell her house. This is important because the deck may not have been built properly or may not have the required permits, which could cause problems for the buyer in the future. Option A, doing nothing, could lead to legal issues for the seller and buyer. Option B, removing the deck, may not be necessary and could decrease the value of the house. Option D, obtaining a retrospective building permit, may be a good idea but does not address the issue of informing the buyer.
