What is a servitude? A servitude is a real right that runs with the land. It allows a landowner to make use of neighbouring land. Servitudes can be created in a variety of ways, including through express or implied grant or reservation, positive prescription (i.e., by open and peaceable use over a period of 20 years) and inherent right. The most common type of servitude relates to access and permits a landowner to take over a neighbour's land.
