So far in this chapter, we have concerned ourselves with ownership (and, related thereto, possession) as the real right that accrued to a person in respect of his own property (ius in re propria).

We may now proceed to consider the real rights a person could enjoy in respect of property belonging to others (iura in re aliena)^{[481] style='font-size:9.5pt;font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;color:black;font-weight:bold'>[482]}; in other words, rights imposing restrictions on the exercise of the rights of owner­ship by the owner.

The most important of such rights were servitudes, by virtue of which a person could use another's movable and/or immovable property to a greater or lesser degree. As real rights, servitudes were protected by an actio in rem that the holder of a servitude could institute against anyone who infringed upon his right.

Servitudes were divided into two general categories: praedial or real servitudes (servitutes rerum or praediales or reales); and personal servitudes (servitutes personarum orpersonales).²⁰¹
