No, all housing except for owner-managed if the owner has less than 4 units.

This is probably the fullest, most up-to-date resource on this subject. It may not answer all your questions, but we are dealing with questions of how HUD understands their objective to punish discrimination, so the the statute doesn’t say “ thou shalt not request documentation from blind people.” It says “don’t discriminate based on disability” and HUD and judges have created guidelines to detail what that means in practice.

I thought this part was interesting:

Performing “work or tasks” means that the dog is trained to take a specific action when needed to assist the person with a disability.

o If the individual identifies at least one action the dog is trained to take which is helpful to the disability other than emotional support, the dog should be considered a service animal and permitted in housing, including public and common use areas. Housing providers should not make further inquiries.

o If no specific work or task is identified, the dog should not be considered a service animal but may be another type of animal for which a reasonable accommodation may be required. Emotional support, comfort, well-being, and companionship are not a specific work or task for purposes of analysis under the ADA.
