A covenant is said to run with the land, when not only the original parties [to the deed of conveyance] or their representatives, but each successive owner of the land, will be entitled to its benefit, or be liable, (as the case may be,) to its obligation. 1 Steph. Com. 455, and note (r).

Or, in other words, it is so called when either the liability to perform it, or the right to take advantage of it, passes to the assignee of the land.
