Question: A homeowner in rural Alberta wants to prevent their neighbour from operating a commercial pig farm on an adjacent residential lot. They discuss with their lawyer the possibility of imposing a restriction on the neighbour's land. What legal mechanism would be most appropriate if mutual agreement can be reached?

Answer options: ✅ A restrictive covenant.

  • An easement by prescription.
  • A caveat by the homeowner.
  • A boundary adjustment.

Correct answer: A restrictive covenant.

Explanation: A restrictive covenant is the most suitable legal tool for imposing limitations on how land can be used for the benefit of another property. It's a consensual agreement registered on title, unlike an easement by prescription which arises from long-term use, or a caveat which protects an existing claim.
