Easement of Light

An easement of light is a legal right that allows a property owner to receive natural light through a specific opening, such as a window, from a neighboring property. This easement ensures that the neighbor cannot build or make changes that would block that light. It's important for homeowners who value sunlight entering their homes, as it can enhance living conditions and property value. If such an easement exists, it must be respected by both parties. Always, any disputes regarding easements should ideally be resolved through legal advice or mediation.
