  • ODUrent retains NPD officers to patrol properties year round!

    ODUrent has been working aggressively to make your home a safe place so you can feel at ease. For added safety we have installed automatic door locks and dusk to dawn lighting. There are also motion alarms in many of our properties. We go the extra mile and hired off duty Norfolk Police to monitor properties on weekends.

      PartySmart

      Know the people at your party

      The more people you don’t know at your party, the greater potential for bad things to happen. Fights, theft and people getting in trouble happen more often when you don’t know who’s at your party. Keeping the size of your party small cuts down on the number of randoms who will come and scope your place out.

      Call the ODU Police and let them know

      They will let you know the rules such as having a host who lives there stay in contact with police. And always cooperate with the police if things get out of hand. Know the VA Alcohol Laws.

      Respect your neighbors and know your lease regulations.

      There are at least two reasons why you do not want to be the inconsiderate neighbor. First, people like to get that guy in trouble. Second, if you’re not home and your neighbor sees someone hit your car or walk out of your house with your TV, they are more likely to help you if they know you and like you.

      Be Considerate

      Clean up any trash, and keep the noise level reasonable.

      Have at least one person there who is not drinking

      If you and your friends are set on having a crazy night, it only makes sense to have someone there with their wits about them. Let this person be the one who drives you to Taco Bell at 2:00 a.m., or calls the police if something happens, and makes sure that no one is getting dangerously drunk.

      Drink Water

      Drink water in between alcoholic drinks, and down more water before you go to bed. It re-hydrates your body and cuts back on the risk of a hangover.

      Provide Options

      Limit alcohol, and serve non-alcoholic beverages in addition to any alcohol. Additionally, provide food.
