Divyit
So you made the plunge into home ownership, but you decided not to do it all alone. In other words, you have a roommate or a partner. Now it’s time to figure out who pays for what and how to split the bills appropriately.

Then, use the app to easily send a bill to your tenants or we mean, roommates.

Just keep reminding yourself that with their rent money, you can fix up your new home.
