Land Use & Zoning
In Louisiana, restrictive covenants in subdivision deed restrictions typically run with the land, meaning they:
AExpire after 30 years automatically
BBind successive owners of the properties, not just the original purchasers, as long as the conditions continue to be met✓ Correct
COnly apply to the original buyer who signed the deed
DCan be waived by any single property owner in the subdivision
Explanation
Covenants that run with the land bind not only the original parties but also all subsequent owners of the affected properties, as long as the requirements for covenants running with the land are met (touch and concern, intent, privity). They are typically enforced by property owners in the subdivision.
