Easements with leases

It is legal for a property owner to give an appurtenant easement to a tenant. It is still appurtenant, since if the tenant can and does sublease to a new
sublessee, that new tenant (sublessee) can continue to enjoy the benefit of
the easement.

For example, a mall owner leases a large store to a commercial tenant. As
part of the lease, the landlord gives the tenant an appurtenant easement to
drive delivery trucks through the landlord’s rear property. If the tenant goes
out of business and sublets the store to another business, that new sublessee
business can continue to use the easement.
