In Homly, a unit is anything you rent to one tenant at a time: a bed in a shared room, a private room, a full flat or a shop. Getting units right makes everything downstream — rent, electricity splits, occupancy — work cleanly.

Beds vs rooms

For a PG or hostel, model each bed as its own unit. A triple-sharing room becomes three units, each with its own rent and its own tenant ledger. This is what lets Homly price a window bed differently from a door bed, and bill three roommates separately.

For apartments or houses rented to a single tenant or family, one unit per room or per flat is enough.

What to set on each unit

• Monthly rent — the default rent new tenants are billed at. You can override rent per tenant later without touching the unit.
• Security deposit default — pre-fills the deposit when you onboard a tenant into this unit.
• Attributes — furnished, AC, attached bathroom and other amenities. These also power your public property site's room listing if you enable it.

Occupancy at a glance

Once units exist, the dashboard shows which are occupied, which are open and which are notice-period exits — so you always know where the next vacancy is coming from.

Tip: the free plan covers up to 5 units. When you cross that, paid plans start at ₹49/month.
