Question: 1 / 1505

What is the term for Jon's property when he is granted an easement by necessity to get to the road?

Dominant tenant

Dominant tenement

The term "dominant tenement" refers to the property that benefits from the easement granted, allowing its owner to access a resource or area that would otherwise be inaccessible. In this scenario, since Jon's property is being granted an easement by necessity to reach the road, his property acts as the dominant tenement. This is because Jon enjoys a legal right to use the easement for access, thus deriving an advantage from it.

The other terms have specific meanings in the context of easements. The dominant tenant is the individual who benefits from the easement, but the term most accurately describing the property itself is "dominant tenement." Conversely, the servient tenement refers to the property that is burdened by the easement and grants the right of passage or use to the dominant tenement. Understanding these distinctions clarifies the roles of each property involved in an easement situation.
