Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The agency relationship between Orin and Pat terminated when the house was destroyed in a hurricane. The contract between them would have specifically outlined the terms of their relationship, including the conditions under which it would terminate. As the house no longer exists, there is nothing for Pat to sell and therefore, the agency relationship has ended.
