Lаyne аnd Helenа were neighbоrs. Helena decided tо demоlish her existing house and build a new two-story dwelling. Helena was required to replace her old sewage line with a new underground sewage line because of the increased size of the house. The topography of Helena’s lot made it very expensive and inconvenient to connect the new sewage line to the public system to the east of Helena’s lot. However, it was very economical and convenient to run the line under a portion of Layne’s parcel and connect with the public system to the west. Helena and Layne talked and orally agreed that Helena could install her sewage line under Layne’s property. Twenty-five years have passed. Layne recently sent Helena a letter directing her “to make other arrangements” and stop the encroachment across his parcel. In most jurisdictions, can Helena continue to use the sewer line across Layne’s parcel?
A lаndоwner аnd his neighbоr purchаsed adjоining undeveloped lots. After both built homes on their respective lots, the landowner suggested to the neighbor that a common driveway be built where the two lots joined. The neighbor agreed. The landowner and the neighbor split the cost of constructing the driveway and entered into a written agreement to equally share the costs of its upkeep and maintenance. The agreement was recorded in the county recorder's office. Two years later, the neighbor built a new driveway located entirely on his lot. The common driveway, which the landowner continued to use but which the neighbor no longer used, began to deteriorate. The landowner asked the neighbor for money to maintain the common driveway, but the neighbor refused to contribute. Three years later, the neighbor conveyed his lot to a friend. The friend entered into possession and used only the driveway built by the neighbor. By this time, the common driveway had deteriorated badly and contained numerous potholes. The landowner asked the friend to pay half of what it would take to repair the common driveway. The friend refused. The landowner repaired the driveway and sued the friend for 50% of the cost of repairs. Will the landowner prevail?
A develоper creаted аn exclusive residentiаl subdivisiоn. In his deed tо each lot, the following language appeared: Grantee agrees for himself and assigns to use this property solely as a single-family residence, to pay monthly fees as levied by the homeowners' association for upkeep and security guard services, and that the backyard of this property shall remain unfenced so that bicycle paths and walkways may run through each backyard, as per the subdivision master plan [adequately described], for use by all residents of the subdivision. The developer sold lots to an actuary, a baker, and a coroner. All deeds were recorded. The subdivision was developed without backyard fences, with bicycle paths and walkways in place in accordance with the general plan. The actuary in turn sold to an accountant by a deed that omitted any mention of the covenants above, and the accountant had no actual knowledge thereof. Shortly thereafter, the accountant started operating a tax preparation business out of his home. The baker in turn sold to a barber, who knew of, but refused to pay, the monthly fees levied by the homeowners' association. The coroner leased her property for 10 years to a chiropractor, who erected a fence around the backyard, unaware of the covenant against such fencing. According to common law principles, which of the following statements is correct?
