Interests in land "run with the land," which means they are tied to the property itself and therefore binding on subsequent owners of the land. This applies to easements, covenants, and other types of interests in land. It does not necessarily give the owner of the interest the right to exclusive possession (as in the case of an easement) or make a leasehold estate a type of freehold estate. The privity of contract rule governs contracts but is not necessarily related to interests in land "running with the land."
