Landlord Right To Obtain Tenant's History From Property Manager

[Pesi S.]

Hello,

If a landlord has a property manager managing his property can he still obtain the credit history and background checks verification the property manager has conducted to vet a tenant just to verify that the manager is really conducting a high level of due diligence ?? I am told by property management company they cannot share anything at all by law in NC and I need to take their word for it and rely on the checks and balances . Is this correct ?

Also, how does one find landlord associations one can be a member of in Charlotte, NC ?

Thank you

@Pesi Satarawalla recommend you check out the Fair Credit Reporting Act and national laws on privacy.

Our management contract states we do not share credit or background checks with owners due to potential corresponding liability issues.

Answer us this - how does a property management company protect itself against an owner, who they share this info with, from committing identity theft or not keeping the tenants information secure?
