Thank you all for your feedback, it is very much appreciated.  After initial reaction I did schedule a call with my PM and it turns out what Mike and Drew posted is the actual reason.  However, in my case this fact was actually not in the contract I signed with with my PM.  I had verbally asked this question prior to signing the agreement but due to miscommunication it was misunderstood by the PM.  The miscommunication was that the PM though I had asked if PM checks this information as part of the screening and what is the barrier for approval as opposed to if the PM will share this information.  Lesson learned it's always best to have the important stuff to you in writing.  In any case I am curious to know could the PM could get approval from the tenant at the time of application to share the information with landlord.  But I guess as Drew suggested the restriction is also from the screening provider.  Is there a way to get around that? I trust my PM company but it still leaves me feeling a little hesitant.   

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.
