Which of the following best describes deed restrictions?
Correct Answer
B) Private covenants that run with the land and bind future owners
Deed restrictions are private covenants placed in a deed by a grantor that restrict how the property may be used. In Maine, these restrictions run with the land, meaning they are binding on all future owners of the property, not just the original grantee. They are enforceable by other property owners in the same subdivision or development who benefit from the same restrictions.
