Humber/Ontario Real Estate Course 2 Exam Practice

What accurately describes easements given by one landowner to another?

1. They are voluntary, non-binding agreements between owners.

2. They must involve adjacent properties.

3. They best describe a right enjoyed by one landowner over another’s property.

4. The dominant tenement must be subject to the easement.

The correct answer is: They best describe a right enjoyed by one landowner over another’s property.

Easements given by one landowner to another accurately describe a right enjoyed by one landowner over another’s property. This means that the owner of the property over which the easement is granted (servient tenement) must allow certain rights to the owner benefiting from the easement (dominant tenement). This could include the right of passage or the right to use a portion of the property for specific purposes. This definition sets option C as the correct answer.
