What does it mean when property is landlocked?

As the name suggests, a landlocked property is a piece of land surrounded by lots owned by others. Because of this, the landlocked property has no legal access road to it. The only way to get to the land is by crossing through a neighbor's property. An example could be a vacant lot that sits behind a shopping mall.

How do you get landlocked property?
