Quiet Enjoyment
Michael R. Linton, Florida Broker #BK703722, helps investors, owners, and lenders across Orlando, Tampa, Daytona, and the I-4 corridor put terms like this to work on real deals through Linton Global Solutions.
Quiet enjoyment is the right of a tenant, or a property owner under a deed covenant, to use and possess the property without interference from the landlord or anyone claiming superior title.
Most leases include an express covenant of quiet enjoyment.
In Leases
The covenant protects the tenant's use and possession as long as it meets its obligations. Serious landlord interference can amount to a breach; noise from other tenants is usually handled under other lease provisions.
With Lenders
Tenants often seek a non-disturbance agreement so a lender's foreclosure won't end their lease. See subordination agreement.
A Hypothetical Example
A tenant signing a 10-year lease for a 20,000-square-foot Orlando flex space negotiates a subordination, non-disturbance, and attornment agreement with the landlord's lender. Three years later the landlord defaults and the lender forecloses, but the tenant's lease and quiet enjoyment continue under the new owner. Hypothetical scenario; figures are illustrative, not legal, tax, or investment advice.
From the Desk
Quiet enjoyment is only as strong as your SNDA. Ask the lender for non-disturbance before you invest in the space.
