It should be: "Whose name is the house under?" The words "who's" and "whose" have exactly the same pronunciation, so it's easy even for native speakers to confuse them when writing, since it's hard to get away from phonetics. The word "who's" is a contraction of "who is."

"Who's" can also be a contraction of "who has".
