Florida Real Estate Practice Exam

Buyer Rick wants to sell alcoholic beverages from a house he recently purchased, the previous owner put a ______ which restricts him from doing so

1. Deed restriction

2. Restrictive covenant

3. Plat map

4. Assignment

The correct answer is: Deed restriction

A deed restriction is a legal agreement put in place by the previous owner of a property that limits the use of that property. In this case, it is used to prohibit Buyer Rick from selling alcohol from the house he recently purchased. This is different from a restrictive covenant (B), which is a similar legal agreement but is usually used for a larger development or neighborhood, not just one property. A plat map (C) is a map of a piece of land showing property boundaries and structures, it does not have any legal restrictions. An assignment (D) is a transfer of ownership or rights, which does not apply in this situation.
