Q: Is an easement owner required to notify the real property owner before they do maintainance (w/ heavy equip)
A: In California, the rights and obligations of easement owners and property owners can vary depending on the terms of the easement agreement, local ordinances, and case law. Generally, an easement owner may have the right to perform maintenance on the easement, but this should be done in a way that minimizes interference with the use and enjoyment of the underlying property. Whether or not an easement owner is required to notify the real property owner before performing maintenance with heavy equipment may depend on the specific terms of the easement agreement, local regulations, and any court decisions that may apply.
A: Under California law, an easement owner is generally not required to notify the real property owner before performing maintenance, including using heavy equipment, unless the terms of the easement explicitly specify such notification requirements. However, it is advisable for the parties involved to have a clear understanding and agreement on maintenance procedures to avoid disputes and ensure the responsible use of the easement.
