Landlord rights (Property management not sharing tenant info)

[Partap A.]

Hi, I am a landlord using a property management company for one time placement and not ongoing management. The property management company is refusing to share tenant information such as credit report and proof of employment. Is this legal? I would think this information would be crucial if something to go wrong or even to select good tenant.  I only received verbal information on annual income and credit score of the tenant.

Its probably because they don't want you contacting the applicant to cut them out of the deal. I would ask them to give me partial information atleast that does not include their information until after they sign the lease and they collect the leasing fee after which you should get all the information.
