What characterizes an appurtenant easement?

  1. It is temporary

  2. It can be negotiated away

  3. It is permanent once negotiated

  4. It applies only to surface rights

The correct answer is: It is permanent once negotiated

An appurtenant easement is a permanent easement that is attached to a specific property and benefits the owner of that property. This means that it stays with the property even if the ownership changes. Option A is incorrect because appurtenant easements are permanent, not temporary. Option B is also incorrect because appurtenant easements are not negotiable and cannot be given away. Option D is incorrect because an appurtenant easement can apply to surface rights, as well as other types of rights such as air rights or water rights.
