I've had many people claim they need a 'therapy dog'
when they present their 'papers' - after my investigation, which proves the papers fraudulent and the 'doctor' listed on the papers a friend or relative - I send a declined due to providing fraudulent information

and yes, you can charge a pet deposit - therapy animals are considered pets

check your state laws, because in IL I can dismiss anyones application for any reason as long as I own less than four rental units.

"and yes, you can charge a pet deposit - therapy animals are considered pets" This is completely wrong and can subject the landlord to considerable legal fees. Therapy/companion animals are a reasonable accommodation under the FHA and are exempt from pet fees and pet deposits. " I can dismiss any ones application for any reason as long as I own less than four rental units" There are many restrictions in applying the Mrs Murphy law, one being that you must live in one of the four rental units.

But you have to be living in one of the units.
