Re: Real Estate
This is commonly known as a restrictive covenant. It may be in the form of a recorded covenant or an easement or a condition in a deed. The effect of each can be different. I would need to know more facts, but I suspect that you could go to court and sue to obtain a declaration that the restriction is no longer valid. There are many legal and technical issues surrounding this area of the law. Find yourself a qualified attorney who has experience in such things.
