Land
Land, in its restrained sense, means soil, but in its legal acceptation it is a generic term, comprehend-ing every species of ground, soil or earth, whatso-ever, as meadows, pastures, woods, moors, waters, marshes, furze and heath; it includes also houses, mills, castles, and other buildings; for with the conveyance of the land the structures upon it pass also. And besides an indefinite extent upwards, it extends downwards to the globe's centre, hence the maxim, Cujus est solum ejus est usque ad c'lum et ad inferos; or, more curtly expressed, Cujus est solum ejus est altum. See Co. Litt. 4 a.In an (English) Act of Parliament passed after 1850 'land' includes messuages, tenements and hereditaments, houses, and buildings of any tenure, Interpretation Act, 1889, s. 3.

Vessel
Vessel, includes any ship, boat, sailing vessel or any other vessel of any description. [Offshore Areas Mineral (Development and Regulation) Act, 2002, s. 2(w)]Vessel, includes any ship, boat, sailing vessel, or other description of vessel used in navigation whether propelled by oars or otherwise and anything made for the conveyance, mainly by water, of human beings or of goods and a caisson. [Explosives Act, 1884 (IV of 1884), s. 4 (j)]According to the General Clauses Act a 'ship' shall include a vessel of every description used in navigation and not exclusively propelled by oars. A vessel on the other hand is a ship or boat or any other description of vessel used for navigation. Therefore, a vessel which is exclusively propelled by oars would not fall within the definition of a ship but would be covered by the wider definition of a vessel. From these two definitions it cannot be inferred that a mechanically propelled vessel is not a boat for the simple reason that the definition of v...
negative amortization
negative amortization amortization means that monthly payments are large enough to pay the interest and reduce the principal on your mortgage. Negative amortization occurs when the monthly payments do not cover all of the interest cost. The interest cost that isn't covered is added to the unpaid principal balance. This means that even after making many payments, you could owe more than you did at the beginning of the loan. Negative amortization can occur when an ARM has a payment cap that results in monthly payments not high enough to cover the interest due. Source: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ...

Rent
Rent [fr. reditus Lat.], a certain profit issuing yearly out of lands and tenements corporeal; it may be regarded as of a two fold nature--first, as some-thing issuing out of the land, as a compensation for the possession during the term; and secondly, as an acknowledgment made by the tenant to the lord of his fealty or tenure. It must always be a profit, yet there is no necessity that it should be, as it usually is, a sum of money; for spurs, capons, horses, corn, and other matters, may be, and occasionally are, rendered by way of rent; it may also consist in services or manual operations, as to plough so many acres of ground and the like; which services, in the eye of the law, are profits. The profit must be certain, or that which may be reduced to a certainty by either party; it must issue yearly, though it may be reserved every second, third, or fourth year; it must issue out of the thing granted, and not be part of the land or the thing itself.Consideration paid, usu. periodically...
