NSREC By-law pertains to

• A. Regulatory requirements including procedural and administrative controls, established and enforced by the Nova Scotia Real Estate Commission.
• B. Advertising standards only
• C. Building permit regulations
• D. Education requirements for licensees and applicants

Answer: (A)

By-laws are the rules the regulator creates to govern how licensees and real estate firms operate. They lay out the procedural steps, administrative processes, and conduct expectations that the Nova Scotia Real Estate Commission enforces. That broad regulatory scope—covering licensing procedures, record-keeping, trust accounts, disciplinary processes, and how activities like advertising are handled—best fits what the by-law is about. The other options zero in on narrow areas (such as just advertising) or are outside the regulator’s scope (like building permits), whereas the by-laws provide the overarching regulatory framework established and enforced by NSREC.
