New to the Norfolk area? Moving from on-campus to off-campus?
ODU provides assistance to students seeking off-campus housing through an off-campus property listing page, where local landlords and property managers will post available housing, and through off-campus housing fairs, usually scheduled in the Spring semester.
Please note that the listing of off-campus residential properties is provided for informational purposes only and does not imply endorsement or recommendation of any off-campus residential property for security, 安全, or suitability by the University. It is the responsibility of the prospective tenant to investigate security, 安全 and suitability of any off-campus residential property. ODU is not affiliated with any landlord that lists available property including ODUrent.

- Where can I turn if I have an issue with my landlord?
- When should I put trash out?
- How can I get along with my neighbor?
Check out the following resources, which will guide you as you navigate the off-campus experience.
