Court rules unlicensed man was employed to perform real estate activities
The California Court of Appeal recently affirmed an administrative law judge’s decision that Nijjar Realty, Inc. employed and compensated an unlicensed individual to perform real estate activities in breach of section 10137 of the Real Estate Law.
In the case of Miller et al. v. California Department of Real Estate, Nijjar and its real estate broker operated a mobile home park. The Department of Real Estate brought a claim alleging that Nijjar breached the Real Estate Law when it employed and compensated Jose Rodriguez, an unlicensed person, to represent the seller of mobile homes in three lease-to-own agreements with tenants or buyers.
An administrative law judge issued a proposed order revoking Nijjar’s and its broker’s licenses upon ruling that Nijjar violated the law. The judge found that Nijjar operated and managed the Four J’s Trailer Park, hired Rodriguez as the park’s on-site manager, and employed and compensated him though he was not licensed to perform real estate activities as required by the Real Estate Law.
