Property Manager Withholding Tenant Contact Info

[Michael Shively]

Not sure if this is the best category for posting, so apologies in advance.

We’re looking to put our house on the market that is currently a rental, and we’re going to fire our property manager as part of this process. However, we need to get ahold of the tenants in advance of firing the property manager and asked the PM for the tenant’s contact information.

The PM doesn’t know we’ll be firing them, yet they refused to give us the contact information. Their argument is that if we need to get in touch with the tenants we should go through them.

Anyone have any experience with this? Any best practices?
