(1) For leased premises, a guarantee of quiet enjoyment is usually expressed by a covenant of quiet enjoyment in a written lease, but such a covenant may be implied today from the landlord-tenant relationship, even where it is not so expressed. (2) The covenant may be and often is included in a deed conveying title to property. If it is present in a deed, the grantor is obligated to protect the estate of his grantee against lawful claims of ownership by others.
