Can apartment management require you to list them as a certificate holder or interested party?

"As a condition of my lease, the management of my new apartment wants me to list them as a certificate holder or interested party on my renters insurance. Can they legally make this demand? I'd prefer not to list them on my policy if I don't have to.
