qualify
To meet a mortgage lender's approval requirements
qualifying ratios
Comparisons of a borrower's debts and gross monthly income
quiet enjoyment
The right of a property owner or tenant to enjoy his or her property without interference.
Disruption of quiet enjoyment may constitute a nuisance. Leases and rental agreements
often contain a "covenant of quiet enjoyment," expressly obligating
the landlord to see that tenants have the opportunity to live undisturbed
quitclaim deed
A deed that transfers whatever ownership interest the transferor has in a particular
property. The deed does not guarantee anything about what is being transferred,
including an actual ownership interest. For example, a divorcing husband may quitclaim
his interest in certain real estate to his ex-wife, officially giving up any legal
interest in the property. A quit claim deed may also be used to clear up a cloud
on the title to the property in cases where there is a question of a possible
ownership claim. Compare with grant deed
Experience. Honesty. Results.
