Which of the following best describes a situation where easement by necessity is applicable?

An easement by necessity arises in situations where a property owner must access their property, and that access is impossible without crossing someone else's land. This legal concept usually comes into play when a parcel of land is landlocked, meaning that it does not have direct access to a public road or highway.

In this context, the situation where there is no other access to nearby roads perfectly illustrates the concept of easement by necessity. If a property is completely surrounded by other properties and lacks any means of reaching a public road, the law recognizes the need for an easement to ensure reasonable use and access to the landowner’s property. The necessity of the easement is rooted in ensuring that landowners are not left without a way to reach their land, which could render it virtually unusable.

In contrast, the other scenarios do not meet the criteria for easement by necessity. For instance, if a neighbor prevents access to their garage, it may involve disputes over property rights or other legal challenges, but it does not inherently involve a situation where access is essential for use of the property itself. Similarly, building a wall between properties concerns boundary issues rather than access needs, and shared land for a community project presupposes mutual agreement and does not imply a necessity
