Hi, first post here, hope its in correct spot. I am in the process of screening applicants for my rental house. I got a call today from a prospective tenant telling me she has service animals, They served overseas and are required to have them with them. She was very upfront and honest about the whole situation. I know I cant discriminate and not allow them to bring animals into house even though I have stated in rental ad "no pets allowed". Question is can I charge them a higher deposit becasue they have service animals...Pet deposit basically. I would really love to rent to these people but really don't want dogs in house, my only out is they want a 6 month lease and I want a year. Ron
