Restrictions/Covenants Issues

Restrictions and covenants are legal rules attached to a property that dictate what the owner can or cannot do with it. They can be in place to preserve the character of a neighborhood or protect shared interests among property owners. In boundary disputes, such restrictions might limit how far one can build, use the land, or alter it. Resolving disputes often involves reviewing these covenants to determine rights and responsibilities, ensuring that any changes or uses align with the established agreements, thus maintaining order and fairness within the community.
