Building Code Administrators and Inspectors Florida Principle and Practice Licensure Practice Exam

Which of the following allows a person to repossess materials after a demand?

1. Only upon written demand

2. When the improvement is not completed

3. Upon abandonment of the improvement

4. Both A and C are correct

The correct answer is: Both A and C are correct

The correct choice encompasses the situations in which a person can repossess materials after a demand is made. When a written demand is presented, it formally states the intent to reclaim materials, which is essential in any transaction involving materials supplied for construction or improvements. This requirement ensures there is clear communication and documentation regarding the repossession process. Additionally, if the improvement is abandoned, the owner or supplier is typically allowed to reclaim their materials. Abandonment signals that the work has ceased without completion, which can justify the repossession of materials that may otherwise be left on the site without purpose. Together, the combination of a written demand and the condition of abandonment provides valid legal grounds for repossession, making the answer comprehensive and substantiated by both circumstances.
