Deed restrictions, CC&Rs, and association rules are examples of which term?

• A. Private Controls
• B. Arm's Length Transaction
• C. Amenity
• D. Private Restrictions

Answer: (D)

Private restrictions are limits on how a property can be used that are created by private parties, such as developers or a homeowners association, and they travel with the land to bind future owners. Deed restrictions, CC&Rs, and association rules all fit this idea because they privately constrain things like architectural styles, property use, or setback requirements and are enforceable by the private governing group. These differ from government controls like zoning or building codes, which come from public authorities. That distinction makes Private Restrictions the best description. Arm's length transaction isn’t about use limitations, and an amenity is a feature, not a constraint.
