Covenant of Quiet Enjoyment
The old "quiet enjoyment" paragraph, now more commonly referred to as Warranty of Possession, has nothing to do with noise in and around the leased premises. Rather, it provides a warranty by the landlord that it has the legal ability to convey the possession of the premises to tenant. The landlord does not warrant that he owns the land. This is the essence of the landlord's agreement and the tenant's obligation to pay rent. This means that if the landlord breaches this warranty, it constitutes an actual or constructive eviction.
