What Control Does a Landowner Have Over Recreational Use of Their Land?
Full Question:
Answer:
When renting land do I have control over who gets access to use it recreationally etc.
A landowner may grant recreational use of his land by contract, such as an easement for hunting or other recreational purposes. An easement is a nonpossessory interest in another's land that entitles the holder only to the right to use such land in the specified manner. Recreational easement also includes such easements as equestrian, fishing, hunting, hiking, trapping, biking, etc.
The right to use the land, when conferred by an easement rather than outright ownership, is limited to a particular purpose or type of use. It is considered an interest in the land, but it does not allow the owner of the easement to do anything they like with the property. They cannot occupy the land, but can only use it for the purposes detailed in the easement itself.
