Fair Housing

BThey own no more than 3 such homes simultaneously, do not use discriminatory advertising, and do not use a broker✓ Correct

Explanation
The Fair Housing Act's 'Mrs. Murphy exemption' allows small private landlords (owners of no more than 3 single-family homes simultaneously who do not use a broker or discriminatory advertising) to be exempt from some FHA provisions. As soon as a broker is used or discriminatory advertising is placed, the exemption is lost.
