Zainab is a sales agent of a developer company for the housing project known as Gembira Height. On 17 September 2019, Karim bought a bungalow in Gembira Height from Zainab. When he asked about the security of the neighbourhood, Zainab assured him that the house is a gated and guarded community so he should not worry about the neighbourhood's safety. He signed the sales and purchase contract and paid the 10% deposit. A week after he entered the contract, Karim found that there were no security services provided at Gembira Height as represented by Zainab. Karim intends to rescind the sale and purchase contract which he entered with Zainab on the ground of misrepresentation because there were many theft cases at Gembira Height since he lived there. He does not feel safe living there. On the other hand, Zainab argued that during that time, she was only stating her views.

With reference to the Contracts Act 1950 and relevant case law, advice Karim.
