Th law that protects you is the Fair Housing Act (FHA).
You have to be disabled under the ADA (not Social Security) for a service dog OR have be disabled (again under the ADA) or be elderly for a Emotional Support Animal.
A service dog is one that is individually trained to mitigate the disability of the handler. In the US, service dogs are neither certified nor registered. Emotional Support Animals do not have special training other than basic obedience and manners. They are not allowed in non pet friendly public places but are allowed in no pet housing and on planes (with psychiatric disabilities) with proper doctors documentation.
What you need is a letter from your physician stating that you need the dog (specify either service dog or emotional support animal) and why.

You mean like a seeing-eye dog?
Legally I don't think a landlord can refuse a seeing-eye dog, because that would constitute discrimination of the blind owner.
ANY kind of PET dog, though, they can make any legal rule they want.
The "medical purpose" must also be accepted by the STATE you live in as a bonafide medical purpose. A doctor's note doesn't cut it.

If your dog is a registered therapy dog, no. If you are just going in with a note from the doctor, yes.

A note will not do it.
You have to be recognized as disabled by Social Security and the animal has to be a certified assistance animal, If it is a "companion animal" it is a pet.
When you obtain your service animal they will give you the required paperwork for that animal, which you need to carry to take the animal into housing, grocery stores, restaurants etc.
