Restrictive Covenants Breach

Options
Not sure where to post this, admin feel free to move accordingly.
Actually posting for a friend who owns a house in a gated community where houses have a restrictive covenant preventing the use of the dwellings for anything commercial and only used for residential use. One of their neighbours is renting out of the property for social parties which creates quite a bit of nuisance with back and forth of people and revellers. Who's responsible to enforce the covenant?

    The freeholder , developers or management company.

    Covenant only work if they wish to enforce . 2 developments near me are very stringent on enforcement

  • that's interesting - so if each property is freehold, is it like one neighbour against the other or is it up to the council?

    So does each householder own a share of freehold of the estate and therefore self-manage or is there a 3rd party management company ?

    Go COVID regulations with the council, fairly sure parties are still illegal.
