Definition: Quiet enjoyment is the right to possess and use property without the kind of wrongful interference covered by the applicable lease or title covenant.
Example
A landlord's repeated wrongful interference with a tenant's possession may implicate quiet enjoyment.
Keep the distinction clear
Quiet is a legal concept, not a promise of absolute silence. Lease protections and a deed covenant against superior title claims arise in different contexts.
