obligation
This is immediately how I read it in the context. A look in dictionaries and a Google seems to confirm the meaning and the rarity of the word (not in the Italian Garzanti).

encumbrance
"tenutezza" è un legalese neologismo orrendo che in effetti significa "vincolo". In ogni caso, nello stesso altrettanto orrendo legalese, sarebbe "encumbrance". Ciao.

It's like calling luggage "impedimenta"! That's what lawyers and doctors are passed master at. However, far be it from me to have a cheap shot at them: when in good faith, they are trying to be as precise as possible – not avariciously obscurantist. Tenutezza is not simply "obligo" (obligation": it has an additional shade of meaning: something that has a hold on you, something that encumbers you. The difference is propositive, i.e. feeding one's child is an obligation, but few would call it an encumbrance. So encumbrance is an obligation with a qualifier – l'obligo non gradito.

Ecco la differenza! I feel professionally obliged to thank you (thank you!), but it doesn't encumber me at the slightest. Cheers!
