What can a grantor do if a property use restriction is violated?

The correct approach for a grantor in the case of a property use restriction violation involves taking action after the violation has occurred. When a grantor sets a restriction on property usage, they have a vested interest in ensuring that these restrictions are upheld to maintain the value and intended use of the property.

If a violation of the restriction occurs, the grantor can formally demand that the violation be remedied, which can include requiring the removal of unauthorized additions or alterations that infringe upon the agreed-upon terms. Waiting and then demanding that the addition be torn down recognizes the necessity for enforcement of the property use restrictions while also allowing time for addressing the situation appropriately.

This understanding connects to the concept of enforceability of property restrictions. A grantor's right to enforce the restriction is essential for protecting their interests and ensuring adherence to property use agreements. The other options do not align with the responsibilities that come with granting a property use restriction, as they either neglect the violation or forego the grantor's rights and interests altogether.
