Idaho Real Estate Practice Exam

Which situation is not covered by the Idaho Psychologically Impacted Property law?

1. A death in the property

2. Convictions of violent crimes nearby

3. The home was a clandestine drug laboratory

4. Presence of a ghost

The correct answer is: The home was a clandestine drug laboratory

The situation that is not covered by the Idaho Psychologically Impacted Property law involves the presence of a ghost. This law focuses on specific psychological stigmas that can affect the value or desirability of a property, particularly those associated with events that happened on or near the property. While a death in the property, convictions of violent crimes nearby, and instances of clandestine drug laboratories can influence a buyer's perception and decision-making due to their real and tangible impacts, the idea of a ghost is not something that is legally recognized as a significant factor in property transactions. Ghosts fall into a category of paranormal phenomena that lacks concrete evidence and is often regarded as superstition, thus not falling under the regulatory framework meant to inform prospective buyers about actual, impactful occurrences.
