protective covenants

Protective covenants are legal agreements attached to a property’s title that set specific rules or restrictions on how the property can be used or modified. They are often created by developers or homeowners’ associations to maintain certain standards or community values. For example, a covenant might prohibit future owners from converting a residential property into a commercial business or require homes to be a minimum size. These covenants help preserve property values and community character but are enforceable by the original creators or homeowners’ associations.
