Service Dog inquiry for house with no pet policy

Hey All,

I looked through the forums but saw no clear guidance.

Here is the situation.

We own a house where my son lives while going to school that is just off campus adjacent to ASU in Tempe AZ.

Today we posted an ad on Hotpads advertising one of the rooms for rent. The ad clearly states no pets. I got the following inquiry:

I have a small Service Dog named Munchkin. Please call, text, or email me at your convenience. Im very interested. Thank you!

There was some additional personal contact info that I have omitted, but the pertinent information is above.

I am not sure on how, or even if, I should respond. I do NOT want a dog in the house with my son and two other students who are currently renting rooms. The disruptions etc a dog could cause are many. But I want to be fair and follow the law.

Any guidance or references anyone can share on what my obligations are in renting a single room in a house?

Thanks,
Bob
