Search warrants usually have to identify only the place to be searched and the evidence being sought. They don't have to say who owns or leases the property. If you feel this search violated your rights, you may want to consult with an attorney and tell her more about what happened.
The search warrant may be legal. The big issue is whether the police found anything that they are charging you with. Are just irritated the police came looking? If they found something and are charging you, you may need to consult an attorney who can make a determination about whether or not to file a motion to traverse the warrant, and suppress any evidence if the probable cause affidafit was fabricated.
