Regarding Conditions and Covenants, which are restrictions imposed upon grantees limiting property use, the enforcement of "conditions" would be considered:

  1. less stringent than for covenants.

  2. more stringent than for covenants.

  3. none of the above.

  4. the same as for covenants.

The correct answer is: more stringent than for covenants.

Conditions and covenants are both types of restrictions imposed upon grantees limiting property use. The enforcement of conditions is typically more stringent than for covenants. Conditions are usually more critical to the use and enjoyment of the property, and failure to meet a condition can result in severe consequences, such as reversion of the property back to the original grantor. Covenants, on the other hand, are generally less severe in their enforcement and often involve monetary damages rather than a reversion of the property.
