Protecting myself from tenants

Morning Everyone -

I just purchased my first rental property and am in the process of developing a lease agreement. Since I only have the one property at this time, I opted for Umbrella instead of an LLC.

Question is: Can I use a moniker or eventual business name on my lease with a potential tenant, or since I don't yet have a DBA or LLC, must I use my legal name? Also, am I required to disclose my permanent address or any other personal information to potential tenants?

Any additional insight on creating that first lease would be great! Thanks!

Best,

Pete
