Humber/Ontario Real Estate Course 2 Exam Practice

Which statement about residential parking is correct?

1. Urban homeowners can get on-street parking permits by paying the fee

2. Parking is allowed on the front yard if the driveway doesn't have enough space

3. A restrictive covenant in a registered subdivision plan can limit overnight street parking

4. Municipalities have no parking rules regarding commercial vehicles in residential zones

5. Homeowners can park in public spaces without any permit

6. Parking regulations are uniform across all municipalities

The correct answer is: A restrictive covenant in a registered subdivision plan can limit overnight street parking

Option C is correct because a restrictive covenant in a registered subdivision plan can indeed limit overnight street parking in residential areas. Restrictive covenants are contractual agreements that can be put in place by developers or homeowners' associations to regulate various aspects of property usage, including parking. These restrictions are legally binding and must be adhered to by property owners within the subdivision. On the other hand, the other options are incorrect because: - Option A may be misleading as the availability of on-street parking permits and associated fees can vary between different municipalities and neighborhoods. - Option B is incorrect because zoning bylaws typically regulate where parking is permitted on residential properties, and parking on the front yard is generally not allowed. - Option D is incorrect. Municipalities do have parking rules regarding commercial vehicles in residential zones to maintain the quality of life for residents. - Option E is incorrect as homeowners usually need permits for parking in public spaces, especially in urban areas where parking is limited or regulated. - Option F is incorrect because parking regulations can differ significantly between municipalities based on their unique urban planning requirements and considerations.
