Civil Code | 2079.16 Disclosure Regarding Real Estate Agency Relationship
DISCLOSURE: An agent is obligated to disclose to their principal all relevant and material information that the agent knows and that pertains to the scope of the agency. The duty of disclosure obligates a real estate broker to reveal to the principal:
Any facts affecting the condition / value of the property.
The broker’s relationship to, or interest in, a prospective tenant.
The Broker must disclose all profits related to the Agency Relationship. The Broker must not have secret commissions, or bribes, or profits from the fiduciary position. This includes any benefits or profits which, although unrelated to the fiduciary position, came about because of an opportunity that the fiduciary position afforded. It is unnecessary that the principal would have been unable to make the profit; if the fiduciary makes a profit, by virtue of his role as fiduciary for the principal, then the fiduciary must report the profit to the principal. If the principal provides fully informed consent, then the fiduciary may keep the benefit and be absolved of any liability for what would be a breach of fiduciary duty.
Any other information that might affect the principal’s ability to obtain the highest price and best terms in the rental of their property.
CAVEAT: An agent’s duty of disclosure to their principal must not be confused with a real estate broker’s duty to disclose to non-principals any known material facts concerning the condition / value of the property. This duty to disclose known material facts is based upon a real estate broker’s duty to treat all persons honestly and fairly. This duty of honesty and fairness does not depend on the existence of an agency relationship.
