leasing

quiet enjoyment

Quiet enjoyment is a covenant, either written or implied, that guarantees a tenant or owner the right to possess and use the property without interference from the landlord, the grantor, or anyone claiming superior title. It does not refer to noise levels. In leases, a landlord who substantially interferes with the tenant's use, such as by cutting off utilities or entering repeatedly without cause, may breach this covenant. It also appears as a warranty in general warranty deeds.
