18 VAC135 20-10 et seq. (2)
 

20-280(B):  this language is very broad and would make it a violation for a licensee who reasonably believed that they had authorization from the owner but who was part of a fraudulent transaction.  I would suggest that you consider making this requirement a little more narrow requiring that it be a violation only if the licensee knowingly offered the property for sale or lease without the knowledge or authority of the owner.
