Region Details - Covenant Tab
This tab is used to indicate the covenant, or rules, of the region. A covenant is a set of terms and conditions determined by an estate owner. It may outline such details as local theme, rental fees, architectural regulations, and rules of behavior in the region/estate. To purchase a parcel on an estate, a Resident must agree to the estate's covenant. Covenants are always viewable, but not editable, in About Land→ Covenant.
The top lines give general information about the estate:
- Name: Name of the estate.
- Owner: Name of the estate owner.
- Covenant Last Modified: The date the covenant was last changed.
Below this is a large text box which displays the current covenant. This text will be displayed in all parcels on the region/estate, as noted above. To change the covenant, drag in a new notecard. If you wish to clear the current text, click the Reset button below.
Following this is information specific to the current region; this information too is displayed in all parcels' About Land:
- Name: Name of the region.
- Type: Regions may be Mainland or Estate, and Full, Homestead, or Openspace. Mainland regions may be owned in units of less than a full region, while Estate regions are only sold in full region units. (For more information, see this SL Wiki page.
- Rating: The maturity rating of the region determines the kind of activity and content is allowed in the region. It is one of General, Moderate, or Adult, and is set by the estate owner, or Linden Lab for mainland regions.
