In a deed, a grantee may agree to do something or refrain from doing certain acts. This agreement will become a binding contract between the grantor and the grantee. An example would be an agreement to maintain fences on the property or that the property will only be used for residential purposes. This kind of covenant is binding, not only between the grantor and the grantee, but also runs with the land. This means that anyone acquiring the land from the grantee is also bound by the covenant of the grantee. A covenant that provides that the grantee will refrain from certain conduct is called a restrictive or protective covenant. For example, there may be a covenant that no mobile home shall be placed on the property.
A restrictive or protective covenant may limit the kind of structure that can be placed on the property and may also restrict the use that can be made of the land. For example, when a tract of land is developed for individual lots and homes to be built, it is common to use the same restrictive covenants in all of the deeds in order to cause uniform restrictions and patterns on the property. For example, the developer may provide that no home may be built under a certain number of square feet. Any person acquiring a lot within the tract will be bound by the restrictions if they are placed in the deed or a prior recorded deed. Also, these restrictive covenants may be placed in a document at the outset of the development entitled "Restrictive Covenants," and list all the restrictive covenants that will apply to the tracts of land being developed. Any subsequent deed can then refer back to the book and page number where these restrictive covenants are recorded. Any person owning one of the lots in the tract may bring suit against another lot owner to enforce the restrictive covenants. However, restrictive covenants may be abandoned or not enforceable by estoppel if the restrictive covenants are violated openly for a sufficient period of time in order for a Court to declare that the restriction has been abandoned.

FAQ
The HOA is not allowed to trespass unto private property unless (a) the HOA has an easement to that property, (b) the HOA has been allowed by the owner to do this, or (c) the covenants associated with deed allow this, but this would normally be in the form of an easement anyhow.
In 2014, the Nevada Supreme Court held that a homeowner association holds a senior statutory right to foreclose for unpaid dues, wiping out a lender's deed of trust securing its debt. If the lender held a “first” deed of trust, the name became a misnomer.
Homeowners association CC&Rs are, in essence, the rules of a community. They describe the HOA's obligations and rights to its members and vice versa. They are often referred to as homeowner association covenants or simply covenants. An association's CC&Rs are recorded and filed officially with the state.
There is no specific cap on the percentage by which HOA fees can increase annually in Nevada; however, increases should be reasonable, and advance notice must be provided to homeowners as specified in the governing documents or state law.
Yes, homeowners associations in Nevada can be dissolved. The procedure for dissolving the association may be outlined in the HOA's governing documents, or the board of directors has to approve a motion that will be presented to the members of the organization for a vote.
Here's the deal: even without an HOA, those deed restrictions still exist, and someone has to enforce them. But who? The short answer: it could be you or your neighbors. Yep, in many states, homeowners themselves can become the enforcers.
Exploring the Public Record Status of HOA Bylaws In some states, such as California, HOA bylaws are considered public record and must be made available upon request. In other states, such as Virginia, HOA bylaws are not considered public record and therefore are not required to be made publicly available.
Federal and state laws regulate HOAs in Nevada, but it is the Nevada Real Estate Department that is ultimately responsible for maintaining the proper functioning of HOAs and their communities.
An HOA's governing documents are usually in the form of a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) and bylaws. The CC&Rs explain the rules of the HOA community, while the bylaws cover how the HOA operates.
A proper HOA request letter should include: Clear headers with date and contact information. The property address and owner details. A specific subject line identifying the request type. A concise project description. Relevant timeline and completion dates. Supporting documentation references.
