A covenant operates as a type of contract. Under the doctrine of privity, contractual rights and obligations attach only to the contracting parties, excluding third persons. Yet, with land-related covenants, property law can permit enforcement by, and sometimes against, individuals beyond the original parties.

One cannot compel successors in title to comply with even simple positive duties (for example, maintaining a boundary...
