Milwaukee Property Manager Fired and is not Transferring Tenant Security Deposits

[JJ Bliss]

Good afternoon,

Anyone know what legal action I can take in Milwaukee, WI as I fired my property manager and he is not Transferring our tenant's security deposits either back to us or to our new property managers?  Is this just straight theft and do the tenants need to sue him since it's their money or can I?

Thanks,

JJ

Sounds like attorney time. I'm thinking that you as the owner have the ultimate responsibility for the security deposits. Their lease is for your property and the PM was representing you. Good luck with that.
