I have an inquiry about our dog policy. She says she has 2 dogs. She's been sketchy about details, I asked how old and how big and she said, "1 and 3." After 2 more times of asking more specifically she said 75 lb and 120 lbs. Keep in mind, this is a 1400 sq ft. townhouse that does not have a private yard. I told her I'd have to discuss it (I don't really, it's my decision) because that is twice the size we typically allow. Then she says "The bigger one is the ESA." Which means the Mastiff is currently 1 yr old and 75 lbs. 🤯 There's no way I want 2 100+lb dogs in my newly built rental.

ESA are protected. I don't think I can even say "You can't have 2 dogs that size" because the ESA isn't supposed to count against her. I, of course, would insist on documentation and would follow up with the doctor. But how do I word this safely? I was thinking something like, "ESA aside, we would not be able to accommodate a 75 lb dog."
