Another pitbull as an "emotional support animal" applicant

More and more tenants and tenant applicants are quick to perk up and claim "I have a pitbull, it's an emotional support animal" as if they have found some fool proof loophole. Some applicants have as many as 3 pitbulls. They say it with a smirk on their face. They claim they have a letter. There is a place online that will give you an ESA letter for $22 instantly...


 The girl today claimed I have to accept it. I told her my insurance company doesn't allow it and the mortgage company requires me to have insurance. I've had a policy cancelled before because a tenant got a pitbull unbeknownst to me, discovered during an insurance auditors drive by. 

I'm honestly shocked that the laws are so ridiculous. Seems like property owners have zero rights other than to pay taxes to fund the Gestapo Government. She claimed I have to accept it, that she has had trouble finding a place that accepts the pitbull. I asked her if landlords have to accept it, why do you have such a hard time finding one that does?
