Landowner A gives Landowner B a permanent right to cross her property for access. What is this called?

The scenario described involves Landowner A granting Landowner B a permanent right to cross her property for access, which is classified as an easement. An easement is a legal right that allows one landowner to use a portion of another landowner's property for a specific purpose, such as accessing a road or utility lines. This right is typically permanent and runs with the land, meaning it remains in effect even if the property changes ownership.

In contrast, a licensing agreement is a temporary permission to use someone's property, which can be revoked. A restrictive covenant is a provision in a deed that limits how a property owner can use their land, rather than granting access. A leasehold is a contractual arrangement where one party (the tenant) rents property from another (the landlord) for a defined period, which does not apply to the right of access described in the scenario.

Thus, the correct term for the arrangement between Landowner A and Landowner B is an easement, as it specifically addresses the permanent right to cross the property for access.
