The Act stipulates rules for the creation, enforcement and extinction of real burdens, and special rules for community burdens and manager burdens. A real burden is an encumbrance on land constituted in favour of the owner of other land in that person's capacity as owner of that other land. Other burdens regulated by this Act include: Conservation burdens, community burdens, management burdens, rural housing burdens, maritime burdens, economic development burdens, and health care burdens. Burdens validly created under the old law will remain valid burdens - the legal effect will remain the same. No valid burdens will disappear as a result of the Act, though it provides a mechanism for getting rid of obsolete burdens. It should become easier to find out who has the right to enforce burdens. It reduces the number of outdated burdens by making it easier to discharge or vary them. It creates a framework for the way in which individuals may impose their own controls on property. The Act provides default rules for a number of areas where property may not be fully regulated by title deeds.
