A Covenant is an agreement made by the owner of the Burdened Land in favour of the owner of the Benefited Land that the owner of the of the Burdened Land will not perform a certain act e.g. build their house higher than six metres (even though normal zoning would allow it to be higher). Covenants also can also require positive action e.g. the Burdened Land owner must keep their lawns below a certain height.
