Easements Zoom Study Session

Thursday’s 6pm ET Zoom study session is titled, “Easements” You’ll take the first five minutes of class to answer the question alone, but if you would like to get a head-start on that, here is the assignment:

The municipal utility company recently ran a minor sewer line underground below a series of residential properties. One of the properties placed a prefabricated shed on top of the easement, and the utility company has concerns that the shed is obstructing essential access to a sewer shut-off valve below it.

Which of the following statements is true? Select the three best answers.

If the easement is longer than 100 “chains,” a covenant will be required

If the shed were moved voluntarily by the owner and damaged as part of its relocation, the utility company would be compelled to pay for those damages

The easement access will be enforced by the local municipal zoning laws

The owner must maintain the portion of the property with the easement

The utility company may come, without asking permission, and maintain the sewer buried below the easement strip

The utility company may compel the owner to move the shed

Please don’t post your answer on this thread
