Emotional support animals , Am I reading this right

This is the website   I was reading    https://www.nsarco.com/emotional-housing.html

It has a paragraph that states 

Property managers/landlords are NOT required to make a reasonable accommodation under the Fair Housing Act for ESAs or Service Animals in these cases:

  • Buildings with 4 or less units where the landlord occupies one of the units
  • Single family housing sold or rented without a real estate broker
  • Hotels and Motels are not considered dwellings under the FHA but are considered places of public accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act
  • Private Clubs

If I am reading this right , since I only rent single family homes , and I dont use a broker . I am not required to make reasonable accommodations .  So , I dont have to allow these animals ?   Am I missing something ?

 It's those quick YES/NO answers that become over simplifications leading the naive into trouble - - which is why I try to link to authoritative resources :grin:
