of the property, so a bit different, but overall it seems like a touch case to make. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Goudy Old Style",serif">Has anyone ever dealt with a case of a possible deviation to an easement for ingress/egress that was granted to a single family home where the frequency of the use (i.e.
car and foot traffic) expanded considerably due to use of the dominant home as an AirBnB or VRBO?
</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Goudy Old Style",serif"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Goudy Old Style",serif">Basically, potential client has a home that granted an express easement for ingress/egress as well as foot traffic to the beach. Easements were granted in 1969 and early
1970’s. Dominant parcel was recently purchased and owners are now renting property out as a VRBO/AirBnB and the car and foot traffic has increased dramatically with all of the different people renting the home (vis-à-vis a single family using the home with
occasional visitors etc…). </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Goudy Old Style",serif"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Goudy Old Style",serif">I think this situation likely falls within the normal rules and law regarding interpretation of the scope of an easement, but I haven’t seen anything that has addressed
this specific issue yet (increased use due to VRBO/AirBnB). </span><o:p></o:p></p>
