§ 8-175. Adult motels.

(a)

Evidence that a sleeping room in a hotel, motel or similar commercial establishment has been rented and vacated two or more times in a period of time that is less than ten hours creates a presumption that the establishment is an adult motel as that term is defined in section 8-118.

(b)

A person commits an offense if, as the person in control of a sleeping room in a hotel, motel or similar commercial establishment that does not have a sexually oriented business permit, that person rents or sub-rents a sleeping room to a person and, within ten hours from the time the room is rented, that person rents or sub-rents the same sleeping room again.

(c)

For purpose of this section, the term "rent" or "sub-rent" means the act of permitting a room to be occupied for any form of consideration.
