The parties do not attach any significance to the difference in terminology between the complaint—the “covenant of habitability”—and the trial court’s memorandum of intended decision—the “covenant of quiet use and enjoyment.” This is understandable because “the implied covenant of quiet enjoyment is similar to, and sometimes overlapping with, the warranty of habitability.” (Friedman et al., Cal. Practice Guide: Landlord-Tenant (The Rutter Group 2000) ¶ 4.23, p. 4-8.1 (rev. # 1, 2000).) “[T]he Tine between’ the landlord’s interference with the tenant’s quiet enjoyment and the landlord’s failure to maintain the leased premises in a ‘tenantable’ condition can be ‘blurred.’ ” (Id., ¶ 4.7, p. 4-3 (rev. # 1, 1999).)
