What does 'quiet enjoyment' ensure for a lessee?

'Quiet enjoyment' refers to the lessee's right to possess and use the leased property without interference from the landlord or any outside parties. This legal concept protects tenants from disturbances that would impede their ability to enjoy the property they are renting. It ensures that the tenant has peaceful and uninterrupted use of the property as agreed upon in the lease agreement.

By ensuring the right to possess the property without interference, quiet enjoyment empowers lessees to enjoy the full benefits of the property. This includes the right to live, work, or conduct activities on the property without outside disruptions or claims against their use.

The other choices do not accurately describe what quiet enjoyment entails. For instance, changing the property at will might violate lease terms, and the ability to sublease without consent often depends on the lease agreement itself. Additionally, while property value appreciation is a concern for both landlords and lessees, it is not directly related to the concept of quiet enjoyment.
