Under what condition can the Iowa Real Estate Commission revoke a salesperson's license?

  1. For not attending mandatory meetings

  2. For fraudulent transactions

  3. For personal use of tenant’s rental checks

  4. For failing to submit annual fees

The correct answer is: For personal use of tenant’s rental checks

The Iowa Real Estate Commission can revoke a salesperson's license if the individual engages in dishonest or unethical behavior, which includes the misuse of tenant rental checks for personal use. This action violates the ethical standards and fiduciary responsibilities that real estate agents have to their clients and the public. Such behavior undermines trust in the real estate profession and is considered a severe breach of conduct. While not attending mandatory meetings, failing to submit annual fees, and engaging in fraudulent transactions may also lead to disciplinary actions, they do not directly relate to the ethical implications of personal misuse of funds entrusted to the agent. Misappropriation or personal use of rental checks represents a clear violation of fiduciary duty, making it more likely to result in license revocation.
