Quiet enjoyment

Definition

Your right to use and enjoy your rented home without unreasonable interference from the landlord.

Why it matters to renters

It's the legal basis for limits on landlord entry, harassment, and disruption — it means the home is yours to live in privately while you rent it.

Example

A landlord who repeatedly enters without notice or shuts off services may be violating your right to quiet enjoyment.
