Yes. The Federal Americans with Disabilities Act trumps any state and local restrictions on Pit Bulls or any other service dog. That said, Pit Bulls aren't used by the service animal industry for a reason, they don't have the temperment that a Lab or Golden has. There is a word of caution, do not claim your dog is a service dog if it isn't. Doing so is a Federal and in most cases State crime.

Service animal means any dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability. Other species of animals, whether wild or domestic, trained or untrained, are not service animals for the purposes of this definition. The work or tasks performed by a service animal must be directly related to the handler´s disability. Examples of work or tasks include, but are not limited to, assisting individuals who are blind or have low vision with navigation and other tasks, alerting individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing to the presence of people or sounds, providing non-violent protection or rescue work, pulling a wheelchair, assisting an individual during a seizure, alerting individuals to the presence of allergens, retrieving items such as medicine or the telephone, providing physical support and assistance with balance and stability to individuals with mobility disabilities, and helping persons with psychiatric and neurological disabilities by preventing or interrupting impulsive or destructive behaviors. The crime deterrent effects of an animal´s presence and the provision of emotional support, well-being, comfort, or companionship do not constitute work or tasks for the purposes of this definition.

Is the personal property of a tenant insured under the owner's insurance and will any loss be paid directly to the tenant?

It all depends on the circumstances. You should check ahead of time with the owner to determine if there is insurance that covers your property. It may depend on what you rent; a room or an apartment. If you rent an apartment, you need to buy your own insurance to cover your personal property. If you rent a room, it may be covered under the owner's insurance but any loss may be lumped in with the owner's claim since they own the policy. In the case of just a rented room, you must check with the owner's insurance company.
