answered on Mar 25, 2024
Your post is unclear however the gist is what right do you have to be on the property? Is it written and if so, what are the terms? If there are no terms, then I would assume the owner has every right to ask that you leave and if you fail to do so then you are subject to eviction.

Also, if you have the finances at this time, I suggest you contact a lawyer and ask for a 30 minute consult to discuss this case as well as... View More

is it just the Restrictive Covenants that must recorded with the Clerk of Court?

In answer to your question, I contend it is just the covenants which are required to be recorded with the Clerk of Court.
