Scope of Covenants
Restrictive covenants may arise from many different sources, and may be registered against titles or included in leases. Some covenants exist for safety purposes, such as a covenant forbidding the construction of tall buildings in the vicinity of an airport or one restricting the height of fences on corner lots (so as not to interfere with drivers' sight lines). Covenants may restrict everything from the height and size of buildings to the materials used in construction to superficial matters such as paint colour and holiday decorations.
