Certainly - assuming its a LEGITIMATE service animal and not just "listed" as one, that is not unbridled right to have the animal on the property. There are still obligations associated with such on the part of the owners that if not met can forfeit the right. On th eother hand, a landlord that simply is trying to get rid of a legitimate service animal wrongfully opens themselves to a lawsuit under the ADA/FHA.
