As the condo owner living out of state, do I have a right to ask the prop manager for compensation for unrented months if the manager wasn’t doing his job?

As the condo owner living out of state, do I have a right to ask the prop manager for compensation for unrented months if the manager wasn’t doing his job?

The PM I was paying to take care of my condo lied about us asking to raise the asking price (can’t prove since he said it was over a phone convo). I paid him to have the place cleaned, but there was garbage in the garage. That excuse was he thought it was mine and not the previous tenants even though it was milk cartons, magazines dated at the time the tenant was there. He was supposedly showing the place with food in the freezer, junk in drawers, paint chipped from the walls. I asked him outright what I paid him for, said “paint repair” then he shrugged when I called him on it.
