Agency

BDisclose this fact to prospective buyers as it is a material fact affecting health and value✓ Correct
COnly disclose if the buyer is a family with young children
DRefuse to list the property until decontamination is complete
Explanation
A property previously used as a methamphetamine lab is a significant material health and safety concern that must be disclosed to prospective buyers. This overrides the listing agent's duty of confidentiality to the seller, as the duty to disclose material defects affecting health and safety supersedes confidentiality.
