restrictive covenants
type: Concept
definition: Restrictive covenants were provisions attached to real estate deeds or sales contracts throughout specified neighborhoods, which prohibited the future sale or rental of the property to members of specified minority groups. If, during a specified time in the future, the property were ever sold, rented, or leased to a member of a group forbidden by the restrictive covenant, legal action could be taken to prevent that person or persons from taking possession or to evict them if they already had.
