Final answer:

The covenant of quiet enjoyment ensures that a tenant can use the property peacefully without interference from the landlord or others with a better claim to the property title.

Step-by-step explanation:

The covenant of quiet enjoyment for a renter implies that the landlord guarantees the tenant can peacefully use the property without disturbance from the landlord or other people with a superior title. Specifically, it ensures that the tenant will not face any eviction or disturbance due to a defect in the landlord's title to the property. The covenant does not directly relate to noise from neighbors nor does it entail the landlord's promise to conduct repairs, unless such disturbances are of a nature that effectively impede the tenant's right to quiet enjoyment. However, it does not also protect the property from damages caused by tenants and pets; that would fall under different provisions.
