Covenant for quiet enjoyment

Covenant for quiet enjoyment

Baxter v. Camden LBC [1998] 22 EG 150

In this case, the Court of Appeal held that the landlord was in breach of the covenant for quiet enjoyment because the sound insulation between neighbouring flats was so inadequate that even normal residential use by the tenant's neighbours disturbed her in her enjoyment of her own flat. Similarly, in Southwark LBC v. Mills [1998] 22 EG 151.
