TITLE 34
Property
CHAPTER 34-4
Estates in Real Property
SECTION 34-4-25
§ 34-4-25 Invalidity of certain
restrictive covenants.
Since many mentally retarded and mentally disabled individuals are able to live
in the community with some assistance, it is the public policy of the state of
Rhode Island to establish community residences in residential areas. Therefore,
any restrictive covenant or other private legal impediment which directly or
indirectly prevents or restricts the establishment of licensed community
residences as defined in § 40.1-24-1 for eight (8) or fewer mentally
retarded or mentally disabled persons shall be void and unenforceable as to
those community residences.
