Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about leasing, amenities, pet policy, smart home features, parking, and more at Anatole at Norman in Norman.
Do I get a reward for referring residents to Anatole at Norman?
Yes. Anatole at Norman offers a resident referral program that rewards you for referring someone who becomes a resident at our apartment community. In most cases, the referral reward is applied as a credit after the new resident has lived in the community for a set period of time.

To help ensure your referral is tracked correctly, the referred applicant should list your name on their application during their application approval process so your reward is tied to their move-in.

Contact our leasing office to learn more about the referral requirements at our apartment community and get tips on how to help your referral candidate tour, apply, and move in quickly so you can start earning your referral reward even faster.
Can I get a referral reward for referring residents to other Venterra communities?
In many cases, yes. If you refer someone to another Venterra community, even in a different city or state, you may still qualify for a referral reward when your referral moves in and meets the program requirements. This is a great option if a friend is relocating or looking for apartments for rent in another market where Venterra has communities.

Contact our leasing office to confirm how sister property referrals are tracked and determine the best way for your referral candidate to list you on their application during their application approval process.
What is a VIP at Venterra?
A VIP is a “Very Important Person” in the Venterra referral program and typically refers to a resident who has successfully referred multiple new residents to our Venterra communities. VIPs may qualify for enhanced referral rewards as a thank you for helping friends and family find an apartment home they love.

Contact our leasing office to confirm our VIP qualifications and current referral reward details.
Can I still receive referral rewards after I move out of this apartment community?
Yes, you may still be eligible to receive referral rewards after you move out, as long as your referral meets the program requirements and you remain eligible under the terms of the referral policy. When you are no longer a resident at our community, rewards are often provided in an alternate form such as a check instead of a resident account credit.

Contact our leasing office or reach out to the referral support contact listed at our community to confirm how rewards are issued after move-out and what information is needed to ensure payment is sent correctly.
What happens if I move out early or break my apartment lease?
If you move out before the end of your lease term, it is typically considered a lease break (or a breach of the lease contract), unless you qualify for a special circumstance under your lease or applicable law. In that situation, your responsibilities and any potential charges are outlined in the Default by Resident section of your lease agreement. Depending on your lease terms and local requirements, this may include additional fees and continued financial responsibility for rent until the apartment is re-leased.

The best way to avoid surprises (and any potential charges) is to contact the leasing office before you finalize your plans. Our team can provide the quickest path to accurate details based on your specific lease and move-out date, as well as our community requirements. We can also walk you through the move-out process, provide a lease-break quote, discuss timelines and required documentation, and help you understand your options. In some cases, there may be alternatives that can reduce costs, such as transferring to another apartment home if one is available.

Turning everything in properly and on time helps us officially confirm the end of possession, keeps your move-out process on track, and supports a faster, smoother final account closeout.

In most cases, keys and devices are due by close of business on the last day of your lease term, or by the specific deadline listed in your move-out instructions. Be sure to return everything issued to your household, which may include apartment keys, mailbox keys, key fobs, gate remotes, and any amenity access devices.

If you are moving out on a weekend, holiday, or outside normal office hours, contact our leasing office in advance so we can explain after-hours options (if available) and help you make a clear plan for returning your items.

How do you decide leasing approvals?
The applicant screening process at Anatole at Norman is designed to be clear, consistent, and focused on qualifying criteria.

If you have questions about what you will need before you apply, contact our leasing office. We’re happy to explain the steps and help you prepare. Our goal is to make the application process feel completely seamless and straightforward.
How many paycheck stubs do you require?
Income verification requirements can vary, but many applicants are asked to provide their two most recent pay stubs or other proof of income. Depending on your situation, you may be able to provide additional documentation such as an offer letter, bank statements, or other supporting documents that meet the community’s criteria.

Contact our leasing office for the exact list of acceptable documents. If you want a smoother application experience, it helps to gather your income documentation before you apply so you can move from application to approval with fewer steps.
Do you check criminal records?
Yes. As part of the application screening process, a third party may run a background check on each applicant and, when applicable, on any occupants being added to the lease. Results are evaluated using the community’s screening criteria to help maintain a consistent and responsible approval process.

Contact our leasing office if you have questions about how screening is handled at our community. Our friendly onsite team can help you understand what to expect and explain the steps so you can apply with ease and confidence.
How many people are allowed per apartment?
Contact our leasing office for the exact occupancy limits for your chosen floor plan. We are happy to help you find an apartment that fits your household needs and guide you through the entire leasing process, from touring the community to moving into your new spacious apartment.
How do I pay my reservation fee?
After you are approved, you will receive an approval email that includes a link to your payment portal. Use that link to securely enter your payment information and submit your reservation fee to hold your apartment. This step helps confirm your selection and keeps your move-in plans on track.

Contact our leasing office if you need help with reservation timelines, fee details, locating your payment link, or confirming your move-in date. If you are trying to reserve quickly, we recommend paying the reservation fee as soon as possible after approval since availability can change.
Should I make an appointment to sign my lease?
Yes, scheduling an in-person appointment with our leasing team is strongly recommended. While your primary lease contract is digitally signed through our online leasing platform, a few required addenda may need a physical signature. To make this process smooth and stress-free, we encourage all approved applicants to complete their lease paperwork before move-in day, so we can ensure your lease terms are clear, your move-in date is confirmed, and you leave with everything completed.

Just let us know the date and time that works for you, and our team will book some time to walk you through and complete any final paperwork and answer any remaining questions.

Contact our leasing office for exact details on any lease paperwork you still need to sign and whether any remaining move-in steps should be completed in person. If you want the fastest path from approval to move-in, ask our team what documents to bring and what deadlines to keep in mind.

This can be especially helpful if you are coordinating a move, comparing lease terms, or finalizing details from out of town.

Contact our leasing office if you have questions about which documents are signed electronically and which items may require in person review. If you did not receive your DocuSign email, the leasing team can resend it and help you complete your paperwork quickly.

Our friendly on-site team is always happy to help answer your questions to make sure you feel prepared for move-in and you have everything you need for a smooth transition into your new apartment.
How is the water bill figured?
At apartment communities, water bills are generally calculated in one of two ways. Some communities use a “true usage” measurement, where your bill is based on the amount of water your apartment home uses. Other communities use an allocation method, where the property’s overall water usage is divided among apartments using factors such as apartment size and the number of occupants, after common area use is accounted for.

For example, with the Allocation Billing method:
• A smaller apartment with one resident would pay the smallest share.
• A larger apartment with more allowable occupants would pay a larger share.

To ensure you know exactly what to expect on your water bill, reach out to our leasing team so we can confirm the method used at our Venterra community, which will be either:
1. True Measure Billing: You pay only for the water you personally use, based on actual consumption.
2. Allocation Billing: Your bill is a proportionate share of the community’s total water usage, based on the square footage of your apartment and the number of occupants.

Both methods are designed to keep water billing fair, predictable, and easy to understand.

Contact our leasing office to confirm how and when water is billed at our community, and find out where you can view your utility service charges in the SMARTHUB resident portal.
How are trash services billed?
Trash and sewer services may also be billed separately, depending on local utility structures and city requirements. Costs will be clearly itemized on your bill, so you always know what you’re paying for.

Contact our leasing office to confirm how and when trash and sewer services are billed at our community, and find out where you can view your utility service charges in the SMARTHUB resident portal.

Do I have to walk my dog on a leash?
Yes, dogs must be on a leash when outside your apartment home. With the exception of our onsite dog park where your dog is free to run off-leash, it’s important that dogs be on a leash and under direct control of a supervising person in shared community spaces. While you may have trained your dog to stay by your side, dogs can sometimes get excited (squirrel!) and run up to other dogs or people who are of different temperaments which could cause an unfortunate event.

Leash rules help protect residents, guests, and other pets, and they support a safer, more comfortable living environment. Following leash guidelines also helps keep our pet-friendly apartments enjoyable for everyone, including neighbors who may have different comfort levels around dogs.

What do I do in case of a fire?
In case of a fire, exit your apartment immediately, then call 911 and report the fire. Once 911 has been informed, please contact our leasing office, but calling the office first will delay emergency response time.

If my roommate or significant other wants to move out, can they be taken off the lease?

If the person is a leaseholder, additional paperwork is usually required to officially remove them, and the remaining leaseholders may need to complete a re-verification process to confirm they still meet the qualifying criteria for the apartment home.

To add someone to your apartment lease, contact our leasing office and request the correct application or add-on process.

Please be aware that extensions are not always available, so reaching out early gives you the best chance to understand your options and plan accordingly.
Why should I add someone as occupant in my apartment?
Anyone living in your apartment home, even part-time in many cases, should be properly listed so the community has accurate household information and can apply community policies consistently. Adding an occupant helps support controlled access to the community, ensures the right people can receive keys or access devices when applicable, and helps our on-site team communicate effectively during serious situations like Emergency Maintenance notifications or community updates.

What is a Maintenance Move-Out Check and when should I schedule it?
Once you have submitted your notice to vacate, you will need to schedule and complete a Maintenance Move-Out Check. Think of it as a quick, helpful “prep visit” that allows our team to assess the overall condition of your apartment home and plan ahead for what will be needed after you move out, such as supplies, services, and any routine repairs. By planning in advance, we can ensure your move-out process is smoother, more efficient, and easier for you.

During the Move-Out Check, a maintenance technician may take a look at major systems, appliances, fixtures, and general wear so we can accurately schedule the work needed to get the home ready for the next resident. The visit is usually brief, often about 15 to 20 minutes depending on the apartment layout and what has to be reviewed.

If you need to reschedule the appointment, discuss special circumstances, understand entry notice requirements, or have any questions about what to expect during the visit, simply contact the leasing office. Our team can also walk you through move-out timlines and procedures for our community, so you feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire move-out process.
Will you need to access my apartment for the Maintenance Move-Out Check?
Yes, we will typically need to access your apartment before your move-out date in order to complete the Maintenance Move-Out Check portion of our move-out process. During the Move-Out Check, a maintenance technician will access your apartment to look at major systems, appliances, fixtures, and general wear so we can accurately schedule the work needed to get the apartment ready for the next resident. The visit is usually brief, often about 15 to 20 minutes depending on the apartment layout and what has to be reviewed.

Please let us know about any special circumstances we should plan for prior to our visit, like if you work from home and have meetings scheduled or if your pets tend to get anxious around new people. Our goal is to make this visit quick, easy, and minimally disruptive so we can keep your move-out experience smooth and stress-free.

If you have questions about the Maintenance Move-Out Check, contact our leasing office. We’re also happy to review access procedures, entry notice requirements, and scheduling preferences with you so you feel comfortable with the timing of our visit.
Am I required to be home for the Maintenance Move-Out Check?
In many cases, you do not need to be home for the Maintenance Move-Out Check. If you are not home, please make sure all pets are secured and ensure minors are not home alone, so the visit can be completed safely and efficiently without disruption. If you prefer to be present, contact our leasing office to request a time window that works for your schedule.

Will I be charged for anything after the Maintenance Move-Out Check?
You will not be charged based on the results of the Maintenance Move-Out Check. The Maintenance Move-Out Check is designed to assess what will be needed to prepare the apartment for the next resident, not to determine charges. Any potential move-out charges, if applicable, are typically evaluated during the final Move-Out Inspection or determined after the apartment is fully vacated, based on the condition of the home at move out and the terms of your lease agreement.

If you have any questions, please contact our leasing office. We can help explain the difference between the Maintenance Move-Out Check and the final Move-Out Inspection, as well as provide guidance on what to clean and repair before you turn in your keys.
