An easement is the right to use another person’s real property (land) without owning the property. One common example is an easement that allows a person to use a road or pathway on a neighbor’s property in order to get to and from the person’s home. In California and across the country, easements are also often created to allow power, gas and phone lines or water and sewage pipes to be constructed and installed on private property.
A landowner granting an easement continues to own the land covered by the easement and is free to do as he or she wishes with the property, so long as it does not interfere with the granted use of the easement.
California recognizes four types of easements: express; implied; easement by necessity; and prescriptive.
