Generally, a covenant is a rule attached to the land which dictates what you can and cannot do with the land. Covenants can bind future purchasers and could restrict the nature of use relating to the land, e.g., prohibiting the use of the land for business purposes. It is imperative that you are aware of any covenants attached to any land that you wish to buy as this will impose certain legal obligations on you as the future owner.
