Covenants

• A restrictive covenant is a contract between the
  grantor and grantee which restricts the use and
  occupancy of the real estate. Generally, the
  purpose behind restrictive covenants is to
  preserve or enhance the value of lands which are
  adjacent to one another by controlling the nature
  and use of controlling lands. As a contract, a
  covenant creates a property right in each grantee
  and subsequent grantee of a lot. The contractual
  nature of restrictive covenants compels courts to
  enforce equitably the covenants' provisions so
  long as they are unambiguous and do not violate
  public policy.
