Under which condition can a real estate license be suspended in Minnesota?

A real estate license in Minnesota can be suspended for engaging in licensee misconduct. This misconduct can include a range of unethical or illegal actions, such as fraud, misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, or violating state real estate laws and regulations. The Minnesota Department of Commerce, which oversees real estate licensing, takes such violations seriously as they undermine the integrity of the real estate profession and can harm consumers.

The other conditions listed do not typically warrant suspension. For instance, failing to pass a state exam would prevent licensure initially, rather than lead to suspension of an already active license. Not selling a property within a year does not constitute misconduct and is more of a performance issue than a legal one. Choosing not to renew the license is a voluntary action taken by the licensee, which would not result in suspension but rather the expiration of the license.
