Rent gets paid. Homerun does the chasing.

Every room carries its own rent, the whole house sees who's paid, and Homerun sends the reminders. Nobody has to type "just checking on rent?" ever again.

Rent was due 4 days ago.

  • "Hey, just checking on rent?"
  • "Hey! Just bumping this."
  • Then you cover the gap so the agent doesn’t notice.

1 in 3 sharers have chased a housemate for rent.

It's not that people don't pay. It's that somebody has to ask, and it's always the same somebody.

33.1%. From the Sharehouse Generation Report 2026, a survey of 3,562 Australians actively forming or reforming a sharehouse, recruited through Flatmate Finders and Homerun. Not a representative national sample.

Rent day, without the asking.

The big room pays the big rent. The house sees who's paid and who hasn't. And when someone's late, the reminder comes from Homerun, never from a housemate.

Imagine rent day being a non-event.

A nudge goes out before it's due and another if it's late. If there's a conversation, it starts from a fact the whole house can see, not one person's memory.

HomerunRent's due Sunday. 3 of 4 rooms are done.

JackDone! Sorry, payday got me

HomerunAll 4 rooms paid for this week.

Brunch?

Nobody had to ask.

Imagine never being the house debt collector again.

Each room carries its own figure, so the ensuite and the box room never get mixed up. Two people in one room share one rent, and either can pay it.

An illustration of the outcome, not a promise. Coming soon: get rewarded for paying rent.

Less awkies. More Sunday.

Rent stops being a thing anyone has to think about, and the house gets to be the house again.

Common questions

What if two of us share a room?

Put both of you in the room. It carries one rent and either of you can pay it. The house sees the room as paid, not each person separately.

What if we use a room as a study?

Leave it out. Only rooms someone pays for go into the setup, so the rent adds up to what the lease says without a spare room in the maths.

Can the landlord or agent see our rent screen?

No. Homerun is for the people who live in the house. The agent gets the rent and your house reference, and nothing else.

Where does the money go?

Homerun collects each housemate's share from their own bank account and pays the agent or landlord named on the lease by BPAY, on time, using payment details checked against the lease. Homerun isn't a bank. Payments are processed through a licensed Australian payments provider.

What happens if someone pays late?

Homerun reminds them before the due date and again after it. The house can see the room's outstanding, so if there's a conversation it starts from a fact everyone can see, not one person's memory.

Is paying rent through Homerun free?

Yes. Homerun's free to sign up, and paying your room's rent is part of the free app.

What happens when someone moves out?

Their room shows what's paid up to the day they leave, so it's settled before they go. The new housemate joins the room with a code and sees the house as it is.

Stop being the one who asks.

  • Nobody should be the house debt collector.
  • Rent is a house job, not one person’s.
  • The big room should pay the big rent.
  • A late payment is a fact, not a fight.
  • Rent day should be boring.
