According to NJ's Truth in Renting:

​

The Law Against Discrimination as set forth in N.J.S.A. 10:5-29.2, prohibits discrimination against handicapped, blind, or deaf people in renting or leasing housing accommodations. A handicapped, blind, or deaf person who has a service or guide dog, or who obtains a service or guide dog, shall have full and equal access to all housing accommodations and shall not be required to pay extra compensation. Any lease or rental agreement prohibiting pets shall not apply to a service or guide dog owned by a handicapped, blind, or deaf tenant. The tenant is responsible for any damages done to the premises by the service or guide dog.

An emotional support dog does not qualify as a service dog because they have not been trained to perform a specific job or task. Also, for the sake of OP's username, emotional support Llamas also don't count
