Restrictive covenants are agreements, normally contained with a deed to the property, which restricts how a property may be used. For instance, with a residential property the property owner could add a covenant which states that there cannot be a business operated on the property, or that there may be certain areas of the property where building is not allowed.

Restrictive covenants may be applied for many differing reasons. For instance, there may be a requirement for an owner of a property to maintain the aesthetic value of their lot or home by performing periodic maintenance. Some other examples of restrictions are:
- Common areas, lighting, motor vehicles
- Land use, landscaping, trees, fencing
- Home additions, painting, roofing, pools
Many problems develop from a poor understanding of the terms of restrictive covenants. A lawyer that is experienced in real estate law may be able to keep a covenants, conditions and restrictions disagreement from escalating to the point of a civil lawsuit.
