Seller owned * lots and contracted to sell one of the lots to Buyer. The contract included, among others, the following two provisions: Not more than one residence shall be built upon any of said tracts. The premises shall be used for residence purposes only. The dictionary defines “residence,” in pertinent part, as “[T]he place where one actually lives or has his home as distinguished from his technical domicile . . . a temporary or permanent dwelling place, abode or habitation to which one intends to return as distinguished from a place of temporary sojourn or transient visit.” The contract contained no other relevant provisions, and both parties participated equally in drafting the contract. Buyer announced plans to build a duplex on his lot. Seller has sued for breach of contract seeking an injunction to prevent Buyer from building the duplex. Is Seller entitled to an injunction?
To determine whether the Seller is entitled to an injunction, the key issue is whether constructing a duplex violates the contract's provisions. Here are some points to consider:
- "Not more than one residence shall be built upon any of said tracts": If a duplex is considered more than one residence, this clause could be violated.
- "The premises shall be used for residence purposes only": This clause is likely not violated by a duplex since it is still used for residential purposes.
A court might interpret "one residence" to mean a single-family home, thereby supporting Seller's claim.
