Leave clean, arrive clean.
One person sets the house up and housemates join with a code, in the app or by texting it to Homerun on WhatsApp.
When someone leaves, Homerun shows what's owed on rent, bills and bond, so it's squared before they go. Nobody inherits a mystery.
Free to sign up.
Someone moves out. A month later, a bill arrives.
- The power's still in their name.
- The gas bill covers months before you moved in.
- And nobody wants to send the text.
The new housemate inherits a house with no record.
The handover happens in a group chat between two people who have never met.
The old one leaves with money owed both ways, and nobody sure of the figure.
The house carries on.
The rooms, the rent and the bills belong to the house, not to any one housemate. People come and go. The lease, the ledger and the roster stay put.
Free to sign up.
Imagine joining a house with one text.
Send the code. A new housemate joins in the app, or texts it to Homerun on WhatsApp, and sees the house as it is. No forwarding spreadsheets.

Common questions
How does a new housemate join?
With the house code. They join in the Homerun app or by texting the code to Homerun on WhatsApp. Either way they see the house as it is: rooms, rent, bills, roster.
How much notice should I give my housemates?
That is between you, your lease and your state's rules, and Homerun does not set it. What Homerun does is make the date a fact the house can see and settle against.
What happens to the bills that have not arrived yet?
Homerun shows the leaver's share of any bill already in the ledger and the bills the house knows are coming. The house agrees the figure before they go rather than texting them in six weeks.
Who finds the replacement housemate?
The house does, the way it always has. Once they are found, they join with the code and take the room, and the house's record is there for them on day one.
Does the leaver get their bond back through Homerun?
No. The bond is held by your state or territory's bond authority. Homerun keeps the record of each person's portion so the handover to the new housemate starts from a number everyone can see.
Is it free?
Yes. Joining, settling up and the move-out record are part of the free app.
