In law, the owner of a parcel of land may, because he owns that particular piece of land, have rights pertaining to the adjoining parcel of land. The most common of these is the right of way. The owner of parcel A has the right to travel over parcel B to get to and from parcel A, and there is nothing legal the owner of parcel B can do to stop it. In a case like this parcel A is called a "dominant tenement" and parcel B is called a "servient tenement". In some jurisdictions, where the word "tenement" has unfortunate connotations, the word "tract" might possibly be substituted.

How does a servitude affect the value of a property?

A Servitude is a limited real right in terms of which a burden is imposed on an immovable property restricting the rights, powers or liberties of its owner (servient owner) to a greater or lesser extent in favour of either another person or the owner of another property (servitude holder). The extent to which the servitude attracts value for the servitude holder or possibly restricts value for the servient owner or his/her servient property depends on its perceived positive or negative influence on the market value of the property. The fact that a servitude is a restrictive condition on another property does not absolutely define that it would detract from the value of the servient property. The influence may be positive on both the servitude holder and the servient owner and property.
