Home Dictionary Name: quietQuiet enjoyment
Quiet enjoyment. A qualified covenant for quiet enjoyment is usually inserted in leases and excludes the implied covenant, which is far more extensive. For the implied covenant may guarantee the lessee against any lawful entry whatever, whereas the express covenant, as usually worded, guarantees the lessee only against entry by the lessor or persons 'claiming by, from, or under him,' so that a lessor having no title to the demised premises may safely enter into the qualified covenant for quiet enjoyment, for an ejectment of the lessee by the real owner would not be an ejectment by a person claiming by the lessor, but against him, See Woodfall, L. & T., and Baynes v. Lloyd, (1895) 2 QB 610; Jones v.

Demise
Demise, a grant; it is applied to an estate either in fee or for term of life or years, but most commonly to the latter; it is used in writs for any estate, 2 Inst. 483.The operative word 'demise' in a lease implies a covenant on the part of the lessor for the lessee's quiet enjoyment during the term, Hart v. Windsor, (1843) 12 M&W 85; Markham v. Paget, (1908) 1 Ch 697; but an express covenant for quiet enjoyment excludes any implied one, Line v. Stephenson, (1838) 4 Bing NC 678.Of the Crown.
