This article provides an in-depth analysis of the legal mechanisms of servitudes as one of the limited property rights and their development trends. The legislation and judicial practice of the Republic of Uzbekistan are examined, with particular attention to existing problems in practice, such as normative-legal conflicts, the lack of uniformity in judicial decisions, bureaucratic obstacles in the registration of servitudes, and disputes between neighboring landowners. A comparative analysis with foreign experience, namely the legal systems of Germany, Russian, Spain and France, identifies the mechanisms necessary for the efficient application of servitudes in Uzbekistan. Servitudes are as important as a private law tool to balance the interests of individual landowners with the needs of society as a whole, the results suggest.
