Article 1 - In General
§ 44-9-4. Parol License; When Revocable; When Easement Running With Land
A parol license to use another’s land is revocable at any time if its revocation does no harm to the person to whom it has been granted. A parol license is not revocable when the licensee has acted pursuant thereto and in so doing has incurred expense; in such case, it becomes an easement running with the land.
