The Covenant for quiet enjoyment is broken in the case of interference by the lessor, or those lawfully claiming under him, not only with the title to, or possession of land, but also with the lawful enjoyment of the premises for the purposes for which they were let. Therefore where a lessor has let the premises with a particular business, for example storing paper, he would be guilty of a breach of such a covenant if he or persons lawfully claiming under him were afterwards to do anything which would render the premises unfit for storing paper generally
