FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
LEGACY LV
Individual Leases

Individual leasing means peace of mind for you. Your financial responsibility is only for your student’s space unlike many apartments or rental houses where a joint lease is signed. If a roommate transfers to another school or moves out of Legacy LV for any reason, you do not have to worry about having to cover their portion of rent.

Resident Events to Keep Students Involved

While the main focus of your student’s college career will be about graduating and getting a fulfilling job, they also need to have fun along the way. At Legacy LV, your student will create life-long relationships and connections that will make them even more successful. Our great staff plans monthly resident events to get them involved. These events range from pizza parties to resume building classes, from Taco Tuesday to gaming tournaments. Annually, Legacy LV will have events such as a Welcome Back Party at the beginning of the fall semester as well as, Spring Carnival, and Pet Mixers. We will also keep our residents connected to events going on at the University of Nevada – Las Vegas, as well as events happening around town so they don’t miss anything! We want your student to succeed, and that’s why we thought of them while designing Legacy LV as a Living-Learning environment! Stay up to date with what’s happening in the community by downloading our property app. We also email and text residents about events or other important information each week.
