英美法律自古以來,房客享受quiet enjoyment
https://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/quiet+enjoyment
In the covenant of quiet enjoyment, the landlord promises that during the term of the tenancy no one will disturb the tenant in the tenant's use and enjoyment of the premises. Quiet enjoyment includes the right to exclude others from the premises, the right to peace and quiet, the right to clean premises, and the right to basic services such as heat and hot water and, for high-rise buildings, elevator service.
那麽,由於房子壞了必需修理或者設備要維護的時候,工人進來是沒有辦法。除此以外房客可以禁止任何人進來,包括房東。
