FAQ

What should I know before my son/daughter chooses a new apartment home?

A lease is a basic agreement between your child and the owner of the community. The lease is legally binding and enforceable through the legal system. If they choose to move out before the end of the lease terms, the resident could still be responsible to pay the remainder of the lease agreement.

What deposits are required?

A $500 deposit is due in order to reserve the apartment. This deposit could be waived if a guarantor also signed for the resident. If he/she fails to make payments on the apartment, the guarantor will be responsible to provide those payments. Deposits will be refunded after final inspections are completed with no damages to apartment or furnishings.

Is renters insurance required?

No, however it is encouraged. Renters insurance is a policy you can purchase to protect your personal property as the management/landlords is not responsible for replacement to tenants. Replacement of your belongings if they are damaged, lost, or stolen could be covered. TCC does not promote any specific insurance coverage company to use.

What type of apartments are available?

Campus Lodge Apartments offers four bedroom/four bathroom and three bedroom/three bathroom floor plans in standard and deluxe options. We also offer pool view and 3rd floor/vaulted ceiling options. With a variety of choices, ask your leasing specialist which floor plan may work best for you based on what you are looking for in your new apartment home.

How close is the community the OU campus?

We are located just under 2 miles east of Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium off Lindsey Street.

When is rent due?

Rent is due on the 1st of each month, regardless of weekends or holidays. The first month’s rent must be paid by money order or cashier’s check. Online rental payments through our Resident Portal can be automatically set up once the resident has moved in and the set up codes have been supplied to the resident from the office staff.

When is move-in day?

Please call our office for move in and move out dates.

Do you allow short-term leases?

We have a very limited number of off-season leases ending in December and May, and will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

Do you allow pets?

Yes, with an approved pet application.

Do you allow subletting?

Yes. However, the resident will be responsible for finding his/her own sublet. Once someone has agreed to take over the lease, both parties will work with the leasing team to complete any necessary paperwork.

Can my child pick their roommate?

It is not necessary to lease the apartment with other roommates. However, we are more than willing to accommodate those that already have roommates in mind. Roommate matching forms will be completed at the time of application. Our roommate-matching survey is used to best place each resident with another person that has the same interests based on his/her answers provided.

Do you allow co-ed apartments?

Our policy is to only place residents with those of the same sex, unless the apartment is fully leased with individuals who have a written agreement of the living situation they prefer.

Do you allow non-students?

Yes, anyone who meets our rental criteria is eligible to live at Campus Lodge!

What if my child doesn’t get along with his/her new roommates?

We suggest that the roommates have a discussion of boundaries immediately after moving in, even if they have known them for a long time. This will help with establishing guidelines for living together. We ask that roommates attempt to talk about any issues within the household prior to contacting the leasing office. If they are unable to resolve, the leasing team may be able to assist with the outcome on a case-by-case basis.

Do I have to pay for parking?

No. We have over 1,000 parking spots on property, including visitor parking. Residents must provide proof of vehicle insurance to receive a parking permit.

Does Campus Lodge Apartments provide security?

Campus Lodge has an intrusion alarm available for use in each unit, as well as one law enforcement officer on staff that live on site. However, it is the resident’s responsibility to lock up his/her personal belongings and vehicles.
