Among limited property rights, servitude occupies a special role. Due to insufficient legislative regulation and the high importance of this legal institution, easement is actively discussed both in the scientific community and among legal practitioners. To date, there are controversial issues related to the legal nature of easements; the role of easements in modern law; the content and procedure for the implementation of easement rights; the specifics of the grounds for the emergence and termination of easements; protection of the rights of subjects of relations arising from easement. Scientific and practical discussions on the above issues served as a methodological message for understanding the need for a meaningful transformation of relations arising from easement.
