Property Owner name on Lease Agreement with Management co?

This is the first I've seen this and can't find a definitive answer, hoping someone smarter than me can share input.

I have recently switched management companies for one of my properties and now that we have a new tenant in place, this management company is insisting that my name and initials are on the lease as the landlord.

I've worked with 3 management companies across 2 states and have never had a request for me to add my name and sign off on the lease agreement. I obviously don't want anything personally identifiable on the lease for a variety of reasons.

This management company is suggesting this is the law but can't provide the actual law. Now stating it's their "policy".

Anyway, has anyone else experienced this? It's a first for me for sure...

Thanks

Update - this is not the law as they initially mentioned, simply their policy... I can work around this by using an entity but still not the desired result...
