There's a middle ground which is what a normal person would write:

I'm interested in your property, but I have a dog. Will that be a issue? Thank you!

or

I'm interested in your property, it looks like just what I need. But I need to know if you allow dogs. Thanks!

People are busy. The kind of filler in the AI example shows that you don't value their time more than you value trying to sound sophisticated when making a simple inquiry. But people also don't have time to decipher possibly cryptic text-message-shorthand. Think about your audience, and write accordingly.

We are still working with yes/no questions. While perhaps a landlord may reply with more information, I would phrase them as open-ended: "What can you tell me regarding dog ownership in your community?" That is an invitation to describe pet deposit, size/breed limitations, places to walk them, etc.
