   (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 (10) hours creates a rebuttal presumption that the establishment is an adult motel as that term is defined in this Chapter.

   (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 license, he rents or sub-rents a sleeping room to a person and, within ten (10) hours from the time the room is rented, he rents or sub-rents the same sleeping room again.

   (c)   For purposes of subsection (b) hereof, the terms “rent” or “sub-rent” mean the act of permitting a room to be occupied for any form of consideration.
