(b) Rooms or units in dwellings containing living quarters occupied or intended to be occupied by not more than four families living independently of each other if the owner actually maintains and occupies one of the living quarters as his or her residence and the owner has not within the preceding 12-month period participated:
(1) As the principal in three or more transactions involving the sale or rental of any dwelling or any interest therein; or
(2) As an agent, otherwise than in the sale of his or her own personal residence in providing sales or rental facilities or sales or rental services in two or more transactions involving the sale or rental of any dwelling or any interest therein.
3. The sale of a single-family house by an owner not residing in that house at the time of the sale or who was not the most recent resident of that house before the sale does not bring the house within the definition of "dwelling" unless there is more than one such sale within any 24-month period.
