§ 22-422. Additional regulations for adult motels.

(a)

As used in this section, the terms "rent" and "subrent" mean the act of permitting a room to be occupied for any form of consideration.

(b)

Evidence that a sleeping room in a hotel, motel, or a 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 rebuttable presumption that the establishment is an adult motel.

(c)

It is a violation of this article when, as a person in control of a sleeping room in a hotel, motel, or similar commercial establishment that does not have an adult-oriented business license, the person rents or subrents a sleeping room to a person and, within ten hours from the time the room is rented, rents or subrents the same sleeping room again.
