Resident Testimonials

The ODU rent team does an awesome job. My roommates and I have been tenants at one of their properties for over a year and we love the house. Their team does a terrific job. We once had a problem with our shower and Jesse came and helped us out in no time. He's the best. They're all great people and I would recommend to anyone. 10/10

I couldn’t be more pleased with this rental company and their staff. Not only are they extremely friendly and professional but they are always prompt when dealing with all maintenance issues and/or complaints, questions or concerns. I have recommended many family and friends to odurent and will continue to recommend as everybody I’ve come across has had nothing but positive feedback in reference to this rental company. They are by far the best when it comes to top quality beautiful properties, affordable rents, and the most caring and professional staff. I will continue to rent through this company for as long as I can.

So glad to have had a nice place to live so close to campus. Close to all the fun and plenty of food near by. The office staff was nice and friendly. Always helped with all my questions.

I couldn't have asked for a better set up for my first apartment. Moving away from home and living on my own has scary and I wasn't sure what to do. I was excited to live off campus this year and ODUrent made everything simple and easy. This experience helped me find my independence away from my parents and I'm excited to stay for another year while I finish school!

I can’t say ODURent is 5 stars, as a student sometimes you get great service it just depends who you get, but I got Nathan today for a tour and he was 10/10 the best person we’ve worked with yet! Communicated with us very well, explained the walkthroughs of the location, I can say in the past we’ve had awkward experiences where people wouldn’t even really talk. However, Nathan did a great job! Made everything easier for us!

This company has done a great job. The house is older so some TLC was expected and issues are sometimes unavoidable, but the staff at ODUrent has done a great job of handling the maintenance issues I've experienced quickly anytime I've reached out. Also, the rent is reasonably affordable even through the crazy rise in the market since COVID too which makes life much less stressful financially. I definitely recommend renting with ODUrent.

Justin came to repair a few things within our home and his service was absolutely stunning. He respectfully introduced himself and was very kind throughout the whole repair process. He made us comfortable and completed his tasks in a. Timely manner. I’ve lived with odu rent for the past year and he has to be one of the best maintenance men !

Joe from Maintenance has saved me twice after hours. Look, no storages maintenance team and staff in general has ever impressed me like this. He got me out of not one but two situations in a week where somehow my keys managed to find their way into nightmare scenarios. Thank you so much for your help

I met Mrs. Vonda and wow! She was very personable and easy to talk to. I asked if she could help me (as I'm older in age) and she did so without hesitation and a huge smile. I would say she is one of a kind! I hope she is here to stay. Her customer service is top notch and rare.

I moved in and the property was not up to date. Ms.Vonda came in and got everything taken care of very quick and even left me some stuff to make everything smell nice. She made my first day here better than what it started out to be.

Lamar from maintenance is amazing! He listens to what you say and checks it out. He always follows up and asks if there is anything else he can do. After he did an amazing job fixing and painting the bedroom/bathroom, I asked for a new door sticker because it was white washed a little and he brought me a new one! Thanks so much, Lamar! You're the best.

Jimmie with the maintenance department was great! He responded to our request very quickly, and was super helpful fixing the issue at our house. No one enjoys having to put in an order but he made it the best it could be.

I had the pleasure of having Mr. Jimmie Scott fixing my leak in my house when the residents water heater broke that lived above us. I called the emergency hotline and he came as soon as possible around 12-1 at night . Great and hardworking. Thank you Jimmie!

Had a burnt out lightbulb in my room and submitted a request to maintenance and never heard anything but they said it had been fixed. One of the maintenance men, Lamar was working on my neighbors house today and went out of his way to get me a new lightbulb and install it as well, took time out of his day while he was busy. Really appreciated it, great customer service

I love ODUrent, this is my 2nd year living in one of their properties.. they always respond to emails quickly, the staff is extremely nice (shoutout to my girl Monica). What I love about ODUrent is that their properties are very affordable and they help you find roommates if you're by yourself. Maintenance is always on time. Smoke detector inspections are regular to keep everybody safe. It's just great, I never want to leave.

The mills is a great living enviorment. They offer a rustic loft feel in all of the rooms. In addition they have matenace staff available to rectify any known or unknown issues you may come across. I recommend it to any college student or young adult looking for a living space they can make their own.

I lived at 1007 38th street and loved it! The layout in all of the properties are great and I highly recommend renting with ODUrent.

Jake Maines

Odurent is great! The staff is super friendly and reasonable, especially when compared to other landlords in Norfolk. They have the nicest properties in their respective areas by far and their maintenance team responds to workorders extremely fast!

Alexander Fretz

ODUrent was able to fix my complaints. Their property 'the mills' is their prized property and for good reason. It's a great spot to stay close to campus. They keep the area safe with a fenced in parking lot, security cameras in the public halls, bolt locks on all the steel doors and concrete walls. I called it a fortress when I lived there. One of the safest places in walking distance from ODU. I've lived there for 2 years and ODUrent has been doing a great job renovating the building, and they're continuing to improve the location. My only gripe with the company is it is mandatory for them to take roughly 200$ from your deposit no matter how clean and perfect of a tennant you are. They use this money to repaint and call multiple cleaning services to clean your room before it is rented out to new renters. Makes sense I guess. Wasn't a big deal, and overall I've had a positive experience with odurent compared to other rental companies or individuals in the area. They're a top notch professional company. Would recommend.

Great team to rent from. This is my first year renting from them and I have enjoyed my place. In the future I would love for them to have individual apartments 1 bed or studios only for people who do not want roommates. Thanks ODU Rent.

great comapny to rent from reputable and honest landlords

Daniel Plawski

21:23 12 Feb 19

Can't say enough about how much I appreciate these people! Highly recommend them. I am so impressed about how kind they are and were concerned more about returning my brother's personal items to me after his passing than they were about the business aspect of running the storage facility and a late bill. If you have any storage or rental needs in the Norfolk area--look them up! So kind, so helpful, and genuine. Thanks you so much!

I was super nervous to call because I've never done anything like this before but I got blessed to have Kaitlyn answer the phone and she was such a sweetheart. She answered all my questions lightning fast, and made the overall experience of applying for my first apartment as simple and painless as possible. + she's super funny so someone please get this gurl a raise! I'm beggin' ya!

I really enjoyed the staff! It’s a college town so I didn’t expect the nicest place, but any issues I had were fixed immediately! Aleita is AMAZING. I got orders to be stationed in another state and she helped me get out of my lease in a timely manner. She was always there to help and was pleasant every step of the way. Thanks Aleita! I really appreciate you.

The Office staff and the maintenance team were very helpful with helping me to resolve some issues that I was having in my apartment. The Mill is by far one of the coolest places to live off campus! My only issue was that the parking spots are limited but I never had an issue finding parking in front of the building. Odurent has made my first experience living on my own the best!

Went to their office in person because I live close. I had found a dead cockroach in my apartment and freaked out, I hadn't seen any other signs but was still very worried. They saw me immediately and I explained to them, and they said they would send a person to spray just in case to and to make me feel more assured. The person came the next day and I feel so much better. Felt like this was handled fast and to high standards. Good management.

Shay is very helpful and definitely worked with me to help me understand everything! She does her job very well and does everything she possibly can to find an answer or make sure problems are solved and taken care of! I couldn’t be more appreciative! Despite me being upset about bills and my roommate situation she still was polite and respectful and always professional!

Only 4 stars because everyone else in maintenance who has came by sucks but wayde miller was very nice and knowledgeable. He explained everything to us and even offered to clean up! Which nobody else did after dirtying up our entire home. Will definitely be requesting him in the future. Very good customer service.

ODU rent has a great selection of houses easily available for many college students being right on campus. Their team is very friendly and makes sure your living is met to the best expectations possible!

Tony Perez

Rent is very affordable for my place and gives a great sense of Home. Repair people are efficient and very relational. Overall I would say for those living on their own for the first time, ODU Rent is a great realtor to start with!

Jarius Hillman

18:27 29 Jun 20

My roommates and I had a serious mold problem. Maintenance came out the next morning, as soon as they could. The guy was able to clean all the infected areas, and give us a dehumidifier to insure the problem wouldn’t happen again. I was very happy that maintenance took care of it as quickly as they did!

Courtney Relyea

00:06 08 Feb 22

So far we have had numerous issues with our rental but each time we have reported them odu rent has sent someone within a few days. The workers are always very nice and respectful in the house.

GEORGE ZAISER

21:25 06 Nov 20

ODUrent isn't great but isn't bad. In the two years of renting with them, we've had some problems with rodents, appliances, and unpermitted people parking in our lot. While we had to deal with a lot, it got better. Price and location are the redeeming qualities of the rental.

Noah Howrilla

19:45 06 Jun 22

They are timely and pretty helpful with their maintenance, but sometimes ignore certain requests and you have to contact them again or more directly. Also, you do get problems fairly often so there's that. But they fix it without question so, can't complain too much.

Leah Onosato

18:18 08 Feb 22

Current resident, im honestly not very impressed by odu rent at all. However the maintenance staff has been beyond helpful specifically Mike who has fixed multiple things in my apartment with a great and friendly attitude.

I’m surprised I’m even leaving 3 stars, in the beginning was very excited to be renting with them seemed very smooth and I was in a rush to find housing since I go to school out there, they found roommates for me and they seemed nice. Pictures and everything they post is FALSE ADVERTISING!! We all moved in, cleaning was not done prior to when we moved in, and so many problems with the place already. Rooms are TINY, overpriced rent! Utilities overpriced as well. There was mold all over the place, COCKROACHES, so many issues. Maintenance would come periodically but they barely did anything. Finally found someone to sub lease so I could leave and speaking with the leasing office was such a Hassle. Worst experience ever and don’t rent with them ! Go with anyone else but ODU RENT
