Define Injunction in Real Estate

Injunction: 

An injunction is a legal order given by a judge that tells someone to stop doing something or to do something specific. It's like a referee blowing the whistle in a game, making sure everyone follows the rules.

Example: 

Imagine your neighbor is building a huge fence that blocks your view and breaks the local laws. You go to court and ask the judge for help. The judge issues an injunction, telling your neighbor they must stop building the fence and take it down, because it's against the rules.

In the land of laws and rules,
Judges have some powerful tools.
One such tool, called an "injunction,"
Helps to stop a wrongful function.

When someone's doing something wrong,
An injunction comes along.
It tells them "Stop!" or "You must do!",
Making sure the law sticks like glue.

So when a problem comes to be,
An injunction is the key.
A judge's order, strong and clear,
To right the wrongs and spread some cheer.
