Covenants Related To Land
Each covenant has two sides: the burden and the benefit. The burden is the promissor's duty to perform the promise and the benefit is the promisee's right to enforce the promise.
These covenants "run with the land" which means that subsequent owners or successors may either be able to enforce the covenant or be burdened by it.
