Comments

“In Vestavia, an incorporated suburb of Birmingham
consisting of several subdividions, the deeds to the
homes and lots bear a restrictive covenant providing
that the original purchaser cannot sell or transfer the
property without the express consent and approval of
a committee appointed by the developer.”
