Covenants are promises which are usually contained in a deed (for our sale of part
example, the deed would be the transfer/conveyance that Ben and the Builders
into, so Ben then owns the property)
covenants/promises relate to future use of the property and what ben can and can't
do with the property.
Similar covenants will be entered into by the other neighbours when they buy their
own plots.
If Ben makes the promise ie. provides the covenant he is described as having the
burden
B. Enforceable between the covenantor and the covenantee.
Ben makes the promise ie. gives the covenant, he has the "burden" of the
covenant and has to do something/not to do something] = COVENANTOR. The"poor"
