Credit History
Legend Management Group uses a statistically sound credit scoring system called ResidentScreening.net to evaluate your consumer credit
report. Credit scoring is based on real data and statistics, so it treats all applicants objectively. Your consumer credit report contains
information about you and your credit experiences, such as your bill-payment history, rental history, the number and type
of accounts that you have, late payments, collection actions, outstanding debt, and the age of your accounts. Using a statistical
program, ResidentScreening.net compares this information to the credit performance of other applicants with similar profiles, which allows
them to predict how likely it is that you fulfill your lease obligations. An acceptable score from ResidentScreening.net is required for application
approval. A score rated “accept with conditions” will require a deposit up to two months rent paid in certified funds. Please note that despite qualifying for credit, you must meet income and criminal background requirements before approval.
Criminal Background
Legend Management Group uses a statistically sound credit scoring system called ResidentScreening.net to evaluate your criminal background.
Grounds for denial of an applicant or occupant may include but are not limited to, any felony conviction or arrest
record. We do not lease to applicants with certain misdemeanor arrests and convictions.
Residency History
We require the two most recent and consecutive years of resident history. This resident history must reflect prompt payment
history and compliance with community policies.
Employment History
Recent employment must be verified, and the applicant must be employed and in good standing. Self-employed applicants
must provide a valid business license, the most current annual tax return (submission of W-2s only is not sufficient) and/or a
statement from your CPA, or attorney, on letterhead indicating the amount of annual income expected. Retired applicants must
provide documentation regarding source of income, i.e., Social Security, pension and/or savings. Copies of these documents
will be maintained in the Leasing Office.
Income Requirements
Combined gross monthly income from no more than two applicants must meet or exceed the income listed on the current price
sheet. Retired applicants must have sufficient income and/or savings to meet the qualifying income requirement. Legal
documentation must be submitted to support any other sources of additional income you wish us to consider, including
the following:
- Alimony
- Dividends
- Military Housing Allowances
- Child Support
- Interest
- Retirement Income
