A seller contracts to convey "marketable title." A title search reveals the property violates a zoning ordinance due to an existing structure built too close to the lot line. Is title marketable?
-
A
No, because an existing zoning violation renders title unmarketable
-
B
Yes, because zoning laws never affect marketability
-
C
Yes, because the violation predates the contract
-
D
No, because any zoning ordinance's mere existence defeats marketability
