Tenants damaged and stole property from our rental property

[Marie Larcom]

Our property manager refused to give us the lease agreement and lied about the tenants damaging our property and stealing our property from our home. Two different tenants lived in our home since 2019 and we had not been to the property until recently. The property manager did not document anything. We have pictures of our property before and after the tenants moved out. The tenants are trying to get their deposit back and we are not giving it back. What are our legal rights? Do we need to price what a new item would cost to replace the damaged property and send the ex tenant the amount to replace what they damaged? Can we take the property manager and tenant to small claims court? Can we file a small claims against the tenant and property manager for not disclosing information to us about our property?

The property manager never would give us a lease agreement. He finally did a month after the tenants left. tenants are demanding their deposit back. The tenants said they could take our property because the property manager did not list all the property in the home. The tenants said they could damage the property and remove whatever they wanted to because an itizemed list of our furniture was not In the lease agreement, our lease agreement stated they could not remove anything. We gave a list to the property manager and he did not include it in the lease agreement. We told the property manager no pets on our property or in our home and the property manager put in the lease agreement they could have pets with a $300 deposit.
