2-Out-of-5 year rule - questions on application

I am married filing jointly, but was the owner of an apartment that I sold in 2019.  Details:

- Purchased in Feb 2012 and it served as my primary residence

- Started renting it out in Jan 2017 (no longer lived there)

- Sold it in Dec 2019

 

Does the 2-out-of-5 year rule apply?  Do I have to pay capital gains on the gain of $150,000?

 

Thanks you in advance for your expert advisement.
