BBreach of the tenant's right to quiet enjoyment and possible liability for damages✓ Correct
COnly a $100 fine per entry

Explanation
A tenant's right to quiet enjoyment gives them the right to occupy the property without interference from the landlord. Unauthorized entry (without adequate notice except in emergencies) breaches this covenant, potentially giving the tenant grounds for rent withholding, lease termination, or damages.
