Defendant was liable for trespass and breach of covenant of quiet enjoyment because it ordered and authorized substantial renovation that foreseeably required entry into the plaintiff's premises without consent or notice; the contractor's trespasses were within the scope of what the defendant authorized or could reasonably contemplate; defendant's defenses (independent contractor, necessity, consent, temporariness, subletting) failed; plaintiff awarded general and exemplary damages.
