What legal term applies to restrictions like satellite dish and paint color regulations on a property title?

1. Deed Restriction

2. Encroachment

3. Escheat

4. Restrictive Covenant

5. Zoning Restriction

6. Land Use Control

The correct answer is: Restrictive Covenant

A restrictive covenant is the correct answer because it is a legal term that refers to restrictions placed on a property title, such as regulations regarding satellite dishes and paint colors. These restrictions are typically outlined in the deed to the property and are legally binding on future owners. The other options are not the best choices because: - Encroachment refers to unauthorized intrusion of a property owner's rights onto another property. - Escheat is the reversion of property to the state when a property owner dies without heirs or a will. - Zoning restriction and Land Use Control are related to regulations imposed by local governments on how land can be used, but they are not typically applied directly to individual property titles in the same way that restrictive covenants are.
