Yes, in some countries.

In the US, generally, they cannot.

They can charge pet rent and fees for non-service animals, they can ask for a cleaning deposit for all tenants equally, and they can charge for cleanup in a unit if a service animal fouls the carpet or tears up the doors or walls, etc, but they cannot charge extra monthly rent, special fees or even demand pet cleaning deposits for service animals.

Service animals are not pets; pet fees and policies are not permitted to apply to them.

Same goes for Emotional Support Animals.

Two federal regulations establish this; the Fair Housing Act and Americans with Disabilities Act.

Pets are pets. All pet fees and policies do apply to them.

Check with a local real estate attorney, local magistrate or landlord tenant office for more information. Also see the related link.
