Potential tenant cliaming their 2 dogs are emotional support dogs

[Alexander Goodson]

First time landlord and I've got this couple applying that are telling me their 2 dogs are emotional support animals and that they don't need to tell me about them and don't need to pay a pet fee. I found an article saying a bill passed in michigan claiming landlords can request a notorized letter from a healthcare provider backing up their cliams of their pets being an emotional support animal. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about if I'm allowed to request that info or if that violates a law. Also the couple used to live in chicago where they're apparently involved in small cliams over destroyed carpeting and they didn't provide me with that landlords info. Any help would be very appreciated.

They sound dreamy! Good thing they failed to give you all the required information for the application, denied.
