    • Any PaySlips that have been generated will automatically be available in the Online Portal for you to use at a later time.
    • PaySlips display a barcode that is unique to each tenant.
    • Tenants can re-use the same PaySlip each time they make a cash payment for rent at a participating location.
    • Visit https://home.paynearme.com/all-locations  and search by address or zip code. Participating locations include 7-Eleven, Casey's General Stores, CVS and Ace Cash Express.
  • What if I do not turn in a Tenant Inventory Condition Form

    If you do not submit your own inventory condition report, then the Ashoka Lion Dallas team will rely on the photo assessment report done by the technician, the listing pictures, or videos taken of the home to determine our move in assessment. Our Ashoka Lion Dallas property managers will compare these pictures against the move out report done by our managers to see what items were damaged and should be charged against the deposit.
