Standards imposed by lenders as conditions for granting loans,
including maximum ratios of housing expense and total expense to income, maximum loan amounts,
maximum loan-to-value ratios, and so on. Qualification requirements are less comprehensive than
underwriting requirements, which take account of the borrower's credit record.
