What is Quiet Enjoyment?

Quiet enjoyment is a legal term typically found in real estate and rental agreements. It refers to the tenant’s right to enjoy their rented property without interference from the landlord or any third party. This means tenants can live, use, and benefit from the property in peace, without disturbances or unlawful interruptions. This covenant is implied in most lease agreements, even if not expressly stated.

When should I use Quiet Enjoyment?

You should use quiet enjoyment:

  • When drafting or reviewing rental or lease agreements to assure tenants of their right to live peacefully in the property.
  • In legal disputes where tenants are experiencing undue disturbances or interferences from landlords or other parties.
  • To assert a tenant’s rights in conversations or negotiations with landlords.

How do I write Quiet Enjoyment?

In a lease or rental agreement, the clause for quiet enjoyment might appear as follows:

“The Landlord covenants that the Tenant, upon paying the rent and performing the covenants herein, shall peacefully and quietly have, hold, and enjoy the leased premises for the agreed term without interruption by the Landlord or any persons lawfully claiming through the Landlord.”

Which contracts typically contain Quiet Enjoyment?

Contracts that typically contain a quiet enjoyment clause include:

  • Residential lease agreements
  • Commercial lease agreements
  • Sublease agreements
  • Long-term rental agreements

Such clauses ensure that both parties acknowledge and respect the tenant’s right to a disturbance-free living or business environment.
