My understanding (not a lawyer) is that if you own 3 or fewer rental properties you further must not be using a broker to qualify as exempt. Additionally there are very stringent rules about what you can and cannot ask of a person who claims they require an animal as either a service or a comfort animal. As the OP clearly indicated that a broker was used, the full anti-discrimination regulations would apply regardless of the number of houses owned.
