About this template
What is this template?
This is a unilateral declaration signed by a property owner to admit that their use of light and air is permissive. It is not a grant of a right but rather a document used to defeat a future claim of easement by prescription.
When should you use it?
Use this when you are a landowner allowing a neighbor to have windows overlooking your property and want to ensure they do not gain a permanent right to that light and air. The nearest alternative would be a formal Easement Agreement which grants rather than restricts the right.
