Simple and Seamless: Making Your Time at Venterra Effortless and Enjoyable
At Venterra, we make the entire move-in journey as simple and stress-free as possible. We know that moving into one of our communities should not only be easy but also enjoyable – that’s why we strive to ensure that each resident’s transition is seamless. We offer innovative technologies and processes like AutoPay, SMARTHUB, and SMARTLEASING that help make leasing with us and moving in a breeze!
Streamlining the Rental Process:
Venterra’s SMARTLEASING takes the hassle out of the application process. With our simple three-step process, applicants can get approved in just
under 10 minutes! First, complete the five-minute application form. Then, simply click submit and finally, wait for our team to review the application. With our innovative technology, applicants receive an approval notification in just five minutes of submitting their application! Plus, there are zero fees until they’re approved. With SMARTLEASING, we make it easy and stress-free for future residents to apply to their new homes.
One of the essential tools available for a stress-free rental experience at Venterra is the AutoPay feature. What is AutoPay? AutoPay is a simple
solution to automate monthly payments and helps ensure residents never miss a payment due date again. With just a few clicks, residents can set up AutoPay in the SMARTHUB app and select the payment method that works best for them, whether it’s a bank draft or credit card. This convenient option not only saves time but also provides peace of mind 
that rent will always be paid on time. With Veterra’s AutoPay, our residents can focus on their busy lives without any worry about rent deadlines.
Through Venterra’s very own app, the SMARTHUB app, residents can finally say goodbye to the hassle of having to go to the leasing office for any type of request. This app offers easy access to account information, automatic payments, and balance statements. But perhaps the most valuable feature is the ability to quickly and easily submit maintenance requests from any mobile device. No more sifting through paperwork or waiting on hold to speak to someone – just a few clicks and our 24-hour maintenance team will be on their way to assist in no time. It’s as simple as that. Plus, with the app available on both Apple and Android devices, it’s the easy choice for any tenant. Make the renting experience easier with SMARTHUB, available now in the Apple Store and Google Play Store.
The Venterra Living website is the perfect tool for anyone looking to move into a new apartment. With its simple design, intuitive user interface, and wealth of information, it’s a one-stop-shop for all apartment research needs. Our website is also a fantastic resource for finding information on pricing, amenities, and much more for our different community locations across the United States.
Debating on which location will be the perfect fit? Look no further than our apartment search tool. With just a click, information regarding the restaurants, stores, parks, schools, entertainment attractions, and employers near the selected apartment will appear. Our sitemap is also available to see exactly where the community is located relative to the surrounding buildings and businesses. We understand that location is key when searching for a new home, and we are committed to making the search as convenient and easy as possible.
Users can also take advantage of our virtual 360 tours of apartments allowing them to view their unit of interest from any angle without leaving the desk. Want an in person tour? Schedule a tour on our website with just a few clicks and one of our team members will be ready to show future
residents around the property whenever is most convenient for them. If a solo tour sounds better, feel free to take a self-guided tour as well. Our site also provides access to move-in and set-up information, pet policies, and all the information future residents might need. And to get in touch, anyone can easily find our contact details on the site to chat online, over the phone, or in person, at any time.
At Venterra, we understand that life can be unpredictable and sometimes comes with big transitions, whether it’s a new job or changing relationships. That’s why we offer a convenient transfer option to any of the apartments in our portfolio. Our goal is to provide exceptional service and to make the residents move as stress-free as possible. By transferring to another Venterra property, residents can expect the same level of comfort and reliability they’ve come to know and trust. To transfer, residents must be living at a Venterra property for at least six months with no late payments. What are the steps to transferring? All residents need to do is sign a new lease, show proof that they’ve transferred their electronic account and renters insurance to the new apartment, and move out! We want to ensure that our tenants feel supported during these changes and never have to worry about finding a new apartment alone.
To summarize, here at Venterra, we do our best to provide current and future residents with a stress-free move-in process and living experience throughout their time as a resident. Through the help of AutoPay, SMARTHUB and SMARTLEASING we offer helpful information and tools to tenants that can be accessed quickly on any computer or mobile device making payments, maintenance requests, and leasing applications hassle-free.

Unleashing Joy with Pets!
May is not just a month for spring blossoms and sunshine; it’s also a time to shed light on mental health. And what better way to do that than by celebrating the pawsome power of pets during National Mental Health Awareness Month? At Venterra, we believe that happiness comes in many furry forms, which is why we proudly embrace being a pet-friendly property management company. In fact, we stand out from the pack by allowing our residents to have up to three pets per lease! So, get ready for a tail-wagging adventure as we explore the incredible ways animals contribute to our mental well-being. But first, let’s raise the woof for the recent success of our pet adoption initiative!
When it comes to finding forever homes for our four-legged friends, we don’t paws for a moment! Our recent animal adoption initiative was like a wild ride at the park—full of excitement and wagging tails. From April 20th to National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day on April 30th, we waived pet deposits for new pets added to our leases. It was a two-week promotion that had both new and existing residents buzzing with anticipation. And boy, did they step up to the challenge! Our residents flooded us with adorable photos of their newfound furry companions, and together, we made magic happen – adding 205 pets to the Venterra family!
At Venterra, we know that animals have a profound impact on the mental well-being of our residents. To prove it, here are some benefits to living in an apartment community that accommodates animals:
- Emotional Support and Companionship: Pets provide invaluable emotional support and companionship. For individuals facing the challenges of daily life, having a furry friend waiting for them at home can bring comfort, reduce feelings of loneliness, and provide a sense of purpose.
- Reduced Stress and Anxiety: Animals are natural stress relievers. Their presence and affectionate nature can help reduce stress and anxiety levels, offering a calming influence in the midst of a hectic day. Returning to a pet-friendly apartment after a long day’s work can provide a much-needed sanctuary to unwind and relax.
- Sense of Community: Pet-friendly apartment complexes foster a sense of community among residents. Sharing the joy of pet ownership can create connections and opportunities for social interaction with like-minded individuals. Dog parks, pet-friendly events, and designated pet areas within the community allow residents and their animals to socialize and build relationships.
- Enhanced Physical Activity: Living in a pet-friendly apartment encourages regular physical activity. Taking dogs for walks or engaging in playtime with pets promotes exercise and a healthier lifestyle. This not only benefits the physical well-being of residents but also contributes to improved mental health by releasing endorphins and boosting mood.
- Improved Overall Well-being: When residents have the freedom to own animals in their apartments, they experience a sense of fulfillment and happiness. The joy and love that animals bring into their lives contribute to an improved overall sense of well-being, fostering a positive living environment.

How Venterra’s 3-Tap Renewal Makes Renewing Simple & Seamless
Renewing a lease can be a frustrating experience for residents. Despite the fact that renewing should be a simple process, it often becomes an unnecessarily complicated and time-consuming task. Residents may find themselves dealing with unclear lease terms, unresponsive staff or unexpected fees or rent increases. The uncertainty and inconvenience of the renewal process can cause a great deal of stress. At Venterra, we believe that finding and signing the best renewal option for you and your family shouldn’t be a complicated process. That’s why we created 3-Tap Renewal — a fast and easy solution that allows renters to quickly complete their lease renewal with just three taps on their device of choice! Offered only at Venterra, this system enables us to provide renters with a flexible and painless leasing solution, so they don’t have to worry about facing paperwork and other hassles.
3-Tap Renewal’s Main Benefits:
- Renew your lease on the go with just a few taps
- Get reminders before your lease is up, so you can renew on time
- Save money by locking in early renewal rates

At Venterra, we understand that life can be hectic, which is why we’re dedicated to making the leasing process as simple and seamless as possible for our residents. Our 3-Tap Renewal takes the hassle out of lease renewals by eliminating the need for residents to find time to come into the office

When the time comes to renew your lease, it may be tempting to consider other living options. However, renewing your lease has many benefits that make staying at your community well worth your while. First off, staying in your existing apartment eliminates the stress and inconvenience associated with moving. The moving process involves the tedious tasks of hiring movers, setting up a new space, and getting to know new neighbors – all of which can be time-consuming and stressful. Additionally, renewing your lease guarantees that you won’t need to pay for any application fees, security deposits, or pet fees again, as they are all secured under your outstanding renewal. Along with saving money, renewing your lease allows you to maintain your current routine which you may have become comfortable with including your commute, grocery shopping, local eateries, relationships with your onsite staff, and more. Ultimately, the decision to renew your lease means you can avoid unnecessary stress, expenses, and hassle while keeping the benefits of your current living situation. 
Venterra’s 3-Tap Renewal process effectively and efficiently maximizes convenience for our residents, with this user-friendly platform that eliminates tedious paperwork and appointments and creates a quick and secure process for our residents to easily renew their lease and spend more time elsewhere.

With the benefit of tech advancements such as this one, Venterra is at the forefront of creating innovative solutions that add ease and convenience to the renting experience.

2022 WOW Matters Grand Prize Winner!
At Venterra, we aren’t in the apartment business, we’re in the people business. For us, maintaining a residential property is not just about collecting rent, fixing issues or making repairs, it is also about building lasting relationships with the residents who call a Venterra property “home.”
Since the launch of the WOW Matters initiative, our teams have been empowered to make a difference in the lives of Venterra residents. By being equipped with a budget and passion, our teams are encouraged to meet the unspoken needs of our residents. Our goal is to create a true sense of community, where residents feel like they are heard and valued – and what better way to do that than by surprising them through personalized moments? This is what our WOW Matters Program is all about. 
WOW-ing is part of Venterra’s caring culture and empowers us to do the right thing, help someone reach their goals, go above and beyond to make the experience exceptional, and stand out as a company that truly does care more. We have seen first-hand how WOW-ing increases levels of happiness and life satisfaction not just for our residents, but also for the Venterra employees who are part of making these experiences happen.
At Venterra, the word community is not just about our property, it is about the human connections that are made between our staff and our residents. Our company values center around the human experience, and we aim is to increase resident happiness. WOW-ing helps to achieve this goal. By WOW-ing, we can enhance levels of satisfaction and overall well-being and give our teams the full benefit of our WOW program not just our WOW. Kindness has two benefits, the excitement of the act of giving, and the surprise of the person receiving a personalized gift.
Our teams produce WOWs on a daily basis, but some WOWs pull at our heartstrings more than others.
The 2022 WOW Matters Grand Prize winner was Gustavo Gonzalez, an Assistant Maintenance Manager at Fairways at South Shore in League City, TX.
Gustavo’s Award-Winning WOW:
The WOW Opportunity
During a unit walk with a resident named Greg, a member of the leasing team learned that Greg was struggling with daily tasks following the recent amputation of his foot. With most of his family residing in Chicago, Greg spent a lot of time alone during his recovery, except for the time his caretakers were there throughout the day to help him.
During a discussion about repairs, Greg revealed that Assistant Maintenance Manager, Gustavo, had been stopping by his apartment every day to check on him, even on Gustavo’s day off. The leasing team was blown away when they heard about this act of kindness, especially since Gustavo had not mentioned anything about his kind gesture and new friendship with Greg. Gustavo’s act of kindness, which came from the kindness of his heart, truly is inspiring and what makes this moment so special.
Gustavo continued to check on Greg, regardless of his work schedule. Through checking in on Greg, Gustavo gave the gift of time, care, and support when a Venterra resident needed it most. He even brought breakfast tacos for Greg and his wife during a visit on a previous Saturday.
As Greg told the team about Gustavo and his wife visiting him, he became emotional. He stated that Gustavo shows up every day, while his
own family won’t even do that. Gustavo was the only person that ever truly went out of his way to make sure he was okay. These consistent visits serve as a fantastic reminder that acts of kindness can be performed solely based on genuine care for people without seeking recognition from others.

Sign Up & Save With Venterra’s AutoPay Discount
Are you looking for a way to save money on your monthly rent payments? At Venterra, our properties offer an AutoPay Discount to residents who sign up for our AutoPay service. That’s right, you could save $20 a month just for signing up!
But what is AutoPay, and how can it really save you money on your rent? In this blog post, we will explore the various advantages of using AutoPay for Venterra residents, including increased convenience, improved financial management, and the potential for long-term cost savings.
What is AutoPay?
AutoPay is a convenient payment option offered by Venterra that allows renters to automate their monthly rent payments. This means that you can set up recurring automatic rent payments, so you don’t have to worry about remembering to pay your rent each month. Plus, with the option to pay via bank draft or credit card, you can choose the payment method that works best for you – all from within the SMARTHUB app.
How Can AutoPay Save You Money?
One of the main benefits of AutoPay is that it can help you avoid late fees and other penalties. When your rent payments are automated, you don’t have to worry about remembering to bring a check down to the leasing office or being caught off guard by a due date. This can save you money, and time, over the course of your lease.
In addition to avoiding late fees, AutoPay can also help you build a strong credit history. On-time rent payments are often factored into credit scores, so using AutoPay can help you improve your credit over time. This can be especially important for those who are working to establish or rebuild their credit.
But the biggest way that AutoPay can save you money is through the AutoPay Discount being offered by Venterra. Residents who enroll in AutoPay at renewal will receive a $20 discount on their monthly rent every month they use the service. This means that not only will you save money by avoiding late fees and other penalties, but you’ll also get a direct discount on your monthly rent payments.
—
If you’re looking for an easy way to save time and money on your monthly rent payments, all you have to do is sign up for AutoPay at renewal in the SMARTHUB app and we’ll start taking $20 off your rent. It’s really simple, and you’ll never have to stress about when rent is due ever again!
So, head to the SMARTHUB or talk to your leasing team about how you could save $20 on your next payment!
Benefits of Moving in the Wintertime
Winter might not seem like the most obvious time to move into a new apartment, but it actually has a lot of benefits. Here are just a few reasons why winter is the best time to make a move:
-
Less Competition:
- There is typically less competition for apartments during the winter months. Many people prefer to move in the spring or summer, when the weather is nicer and school is not in session. This means that there is less competition for apartments during the winter, which can make it easier to find a good deal
-
Moving Company Availability:
- Moving companies are often less busy during the winter. If you are hiring a moving company to help with your move, you may be able to get a better deal during the winter months when they are not as busy. This can save you money on your move and make it more affordable.
-
Easier Physical Moving Process:
- Winter weather can actually make the moving process easier. While it might be cold outside, the dry winter air can make it easier to move heavy furniture and boxes. In the summer, heat and humidity can make it more difficult to move, as everything is more likely to be sweaty and slippery.
-
Holiday Sales:
- You can take advantage of holiday furniture sales to make your new apartment feel cozy and festive. Moving into a new apartment during the winter also means that you can decorate for the holidays and make your new space feel warm and welcome.
- You can take advantage of holiday furniture sales to make your new apartment feel cozy and festive. Moving into a new apartment during the winter also means that you can decorate for the holidays and make your new space feel warm and welcome.
-
Fresh Start:
- It’s a good time to start fresh. Moving during the winter can be a great opportunity to start fresh and get organized. With the holidays over and the new year beginning, it’s a perfect time to declutter and get your new apartment in order
-
Time to Relax and Get Settled:
- You’ll have plenty of time to unpack and get settled. During the winter, there are fewer outdoor activities and events, which means you’ll have more time to unpack and get settled in your new apartment. This can make the moving process less stressful and give you the opportunity to really make your new place feel like home.
Overall, while moving during the winter might not be the most popular option, it can actually be a great time to move into a new apartment. With less competition, lower prices, and the opportunity to start fresh, winter can be the perfect time to make a move. So if you’re considering a move, don’t let the cold weather hold you back – embrace it and make the most of your winter move.
Interested in moving but not quite sure when? Schedule an apartment tour today – we’ll be ready to answer any and all of your inquiries and get you in the perfect space to start off the new year right!
WOW Story: Puppy Spa Day!
Abigail Alvarado, Better Living Consultant
Employee since 2022
&
Christopher Jones, Assistant Maintenance Manager
Employee since 2021
Park on Wurzbach, San Antonio, TX
The Opportunity
Michael is a resident who works from home and has pets. The leasing team needed to have one of its vendors work in his apartment for a couple of hours but it was hard for Michael especially because he couldn’t ask for any days off and had nowhere to leave his dogs while he was at work. On the other hand, he really needed his apartment work order to be taken care of, and if waited longer then the problem might have become a larger issue. Abigail and Christopher were all sitting in the Community Managers’ office talking about the situation when Chris suddenly said “What about paying for a pet spa?” It was like lightning had struck! Chris immediately started searching for pet spa’s nearby. He was able to find one that opened early enough for Michael to drop off the pups before work. The leasing team also managed to close off the conference room for Michael to use since he worked from home!
The Epiphany
Once the team confirmed that the dog spa had availability, they booked the appointment and confirmed with the vendor. Then, they reached out to Michael and explained that they had scheduled for our vendor to stop by his apartment in two days. Immediately his first concern was for his dogs. explained to Michael that the team had booked a dog spa appointment for his dogs for them to be groomed and pampered on Venterra’s dime while the Venterra team took care of his work order!
The Wow Moment
The team contacted the dog spa to confirm hours of operation, if they had any breed or size restrictions, and if they needed a copy of their vaccination records. They also confirmed that they would be able to pay the bill over the phone. They took care of the bill and surprised Michael and his pups with a personalized experience so that the work order could be fulfilled with little disruption to Michael’s day!
The Result
