Normal For Property Manager Sign Tenant Lease But Owner Doesn't?

[John Hodson]

Hello BPers! I own two rental properties. Both of them are managed by two different PM companies. On both Property Management Agreements (PMA), I appointed them as Agent for the rental, management, and operation of those properties. My name appears as Owner on the PMA. The Agent's name appears on the Residential Lease Agreement (RLA) as "Manager". My name does not appear anywhere on this document. Is this pretty standard among agreements? My name not appearing on the RLA does not negate my legal ownership of those properties. Thanks for the feedback!

This is standard. The property management company is acting as your agent.
