What does it mean by easement/ right of way on my land?

An easement is a right over a property (called the ‘servient tenement’) in favour of another property (called the ‘dominant tenement’) . Your land may be benefited (dominant) or burdened (servient) by an easement, or both. There are several types of easements and they include an easement for services (telephone, electricity, sewer, water), an easement to drain water and a right of carriageway. If you have a right of carriageway noted on your title this generally relates to a driveway or a road and allows certain lots rights to cross and move over the land under certain conditions.
