LilleJ,
I couldn't find any specifics under the ADA or the Fair Housing Act, but I found several printed references on the Internet including the following:
Fair Housing: Service Animals
I'm concerned that my disabled tenant's service dog is going to damage the apartment and disturb other tenants. Is it okay to ask for a pet deposit?
A service animal is not a pet and you cannot lawfully require any additional deposits. The tenant is responsible for the actions of his/her animal and can be held accountable for any damage to your property. Additionally, the tenant must comply with any of your established policies such as cleanliness and maintenance of the unit as well as leash requirements and noise guidelines.
