Which term means interference with use or enjoyment of land?

• A. Nuisance
• B. Trespasser
• C. Invitee
• D. Express license

Answer: (A)

Interference with use or enjoyment of land is the tort of nuisance. This focuses on how a defendant’s activities affect a neighbor’s ability to enjoy or use their property, even without any physical intrusion onto the land. Examples include loud noises, strong odors, smoke, or vibrations that are substantial and unreasonable given the circumstances. Nuisance is judged by factors like frequency, duration, severity, the character of the neighborhood, and the utility of the conduct. Remedies typically include damages or an injunction to stop the offending activity. This term fits because it specifically describes interference with land use; trespass involves physical entry onto land, while invitee and express license relate to who is allowed on the land, not the interference itself.
