Definition of "Covenants running with the land."
Crystal Atkins, Real Estate Agent
RE/MAX Specialists
Written agreement, guarantee, pledge, or promise annexed to the land between two or more parties to do or not to do something and is transferred to successive title holders. For example, in exchange for donating a parcel of land to the community, Jones adds a covenant running with the land that the property would forever be used only for educational purposes.
