A restrictive covenant is a written promise, often included in deeds or other property agreements, that imposes a binding limitation or obligation concerning the use of real property. It is used to control the behavior or development of landowners in a subdivision or community to maintain consistency in use or appearance. The key distinction is that it 'restricts' certain uses or actions, which differentiates it from easements or zoning laws. Incorrect answers often describe unrelated legal concepts, such as easements (which grant access) or statutory zoning laws, which are public regulations.
