Rosie owns a large shopping mall called the “Palisades Center.” In the Palisades Center, there is a food court, in which scores of restaurants and booths that sell food are set up. Joe buys the rights to one of these stores located in the food court. Nowhere in the deed conveying the store does it mention anything about a restriction as to what Joe can do with the store. So, Joe opens a store that sells driveway repaving tar. Needless to say, the smell emanating from his store does little to enhance the experience of the patrons of the food court. Which of the following, if any, is the best argument that Rosie can make to force Joe to stop operating his store? Joe’s store is creating a nuisance and so infringes on the property rights of the other store owners Rosie has an implied easement by necessity that allows her to prevent Joe from using his store in a manner that is harmful to other store owners Joe is under an obligation created by an implied equitable servitude to conform to the usages that were intended for the stores in that area Rosie has no valid argument to force Joe to change his store
