Well, as I mentioned in Michigan you can ask for a physician’s order or note to confirm that the potential tenant has a disability and requires emotional support from an animal. You can ask (any) tenants for a reasonable cleaning fee. You cannot ask for a “pet fee” unless you allow all tenants to have a pet and then you charge a pet fee. If it is a service animal you can ask to see what the dog does for the person who needs the service animal although generally it’s pretty easy to see why a person might have a service animal…

Frankly in my opinion this is one of those things the scammers are going to ruin for the small, small amount of people who absolutely need a living dog as opposed to a stuffed animal or living friend. At a minimum they need to tighten up the regulations so that they mirror service animals. That would help alot. A cottage industry as grown up around fake ESAs for people that are feigning maladjustments.
