Contracts

An Indiana purchase contract subject to the sale of the buyer's existing home includes a kick-out clause. This means:

BThe seller may continue marketing the property and if a better offer comes, may give the original buyer a specified period to remove the contingency or be kicked out of the contract✓ Correct
CThe seller must kick out the current tenant before closing
DThe buyer's agent may terminate the contract

Explanation

A kick-out clause (escape clause) lets the seller continue marketing even with an accepted contingent offer. If the seller receives another acceptable offer, the original buyer has a specified period (often 24–72 hours) to waive the contingency or release the seller.
