Requesting copy of rental application/credit check

[Steve Vu]

Hello everyone,

I have recently had a property management company in California lease one of my property (find new tenants) but I will be the one managing the unit day to day. 

I have requested that they send me a copy of the rental application + credit report/background check and they told me that it is illegal for them to share that information with me. Does anyone have any input on this?

I just want a copy of the paperwork in case the tenants end up being bad, so I can have all the information I would need to potentially go after them. 

Thanks!
