Prescriptive Easement Requirements The use of the easement must truly be adverse to the rights of the original owner of the property through which the easement is sought and must be without the landowner's permission.

A prescriptive easement is a legal right enjoyed over another's freehold property and which is obtained through long use. It is similar to adverse possession, but in this case relates to a right to use another person's property in a particular way rather than claiming ownership of the land.

These easements are attached to the land itself and pass from one person's ownership to another automatically. An easement in gross benefits a person or entity and not a parcel of land. When the land that is subject to the easement is sold, the easement generally transfers with the land.

) Plaintiffs submit that this agreement proves that the real estate is not subject to a deed restriction. As plaintiffs concede, a deed restriction is an express grant of exclusive privileges to some persons. Thus, by the plain terms of the deed restriction, there is no restriction upon the scope of either the land to be covered by the foundation, or the materials to be constructed on that land. Plaintiffs also submit that the parties have agreed that there is no agreement on the easement, and that there is no restriction upon the use thereof, except to the extent that a covenant of quiet enjoyment may apply. This latter contention, however, is misconceived. The easement, at most, is a restriction on the construction of buildings in violation of the covenant of quiet enjoyment without respect to any agreement concerning this particular easement. See, e.g., Mason, 473 So.2d at 1296.
