                                  CHAPTER 1. DEFINITIONS

§ 1.1 Servitude Defined; Scope of Restatement

N.J.Super.App.Div.2022.  Subsecs. (1) and (2) cit. in case cit. in sup. In a foreclosure action, bank, who
acquired parcels of real property through a sheriff's sale and subject to homeowners' association's
declaration, filed a motion to divest property from the declaration and to vacate defendant's fees for
maintenance of subdivision common  areas. The trial court denied plaintiff's motion to divest. This court
affirmed, holding that plaintiff was obligated to pay defendant's declaration fees, because, although the
mortgage giving rise to the sheriff's sale was recorded prior to the declaration, equity required that
defendant's lien on the property be given priority. The court explained that the declaration was a
servitude, as defined by Restatement Third of Property: Servitudes § 1.1, that ran with the land. Fulton
Bank  of New Jersey v. Casa Eleganza, LLC, 281 A.3d 252, 258.

§ 1.3 Covenant Running   with Land, Affirmative, Negative, and Restrictive Covenants Defined

Tex.App.2022.  Subsec. (3) quot. in case quot. in disc. Homeowners' association for a ranch subdivision
sued buyers of property in the subdivision, after buyers installed a locked gate to block a roadway
crossing their property that neighbors in the subdivision used to access their properties. After a bench
trial, the trial court granted association's request for a permanent injunction, finding, among other
things, that a perpetual easement over the roadway ran with the property under the covenants,
conditions, and restrictions governing the subdivision. This court affirmed that portion of the decision.
In making its decision, the court noted that, under Restatement Third of Property: Servitudes § 1.3, a
restrictive covenant was a negative covenant that limited permissible uses of land. Hazel v. Lonesome
Ranch  Property Owners Association, 656 S.W.3d 468, 491.

§ 1.8 Common-Interest   Community   Defined

N.J.Super.App.Div.2022.  Quot. in sup.; com. (c) quot. in sup. In a foreclosure action, bank, who
acquired parcels of real property through a sheriff's sale and subject to homeowners' association's
declaration, filed a motion to divest property from the declaration and to vacate defendant's fees for
maintenance of subdivision common  areas. The trial court denied plaintiff's motion to divest. This court
affirmed, holding that plaintiff was obligated to pay defendant's declaration fees, because, although the
mortgage giving rise to the sheriff's sale was recorded prior to the declaration, equity required that
defendant's lien on the property be given priority. The court observed that the subdivision was a
common-interest community,  as defined by Restatement Third of Property: Servitudes § 1.8, that
