What would be considered a valid deed restriction regarding property?

  1. Requiring a house to be of a minimum size

  2. Limiting the sale of the property to certain buyers

  3. Prohibiting the sale of the property forever

  4. Allowing any use of the property without restrictions

The correct answer is: Requiring a house to be of a minimum size

A valid deed restriction regarding property refers to a limitation or condition placed on the usage, transfer, or development of a property as specified by the original owner. Option A would be considered a valid deed restriction as it sets a minimum requirement for the size of the house, ensuring that the property maintains a certain standard. Option B is incorrect as it limits the sale of the property to certain buyers, which can be discriminatory and may not hold up in court. Option C is incorrect as it would effectively make the property unmarketable, and deed restrictions are generally not meant to be permanent. Option D is also incorrect as it goes against the purpose of deed restrictions, which is to control and regulate the usage of the property.
