A schedule of rates charged for accommodations shall be posted in the office or lobby of every motel, hotel, inn, auto court, lodging house, or rooming house, as well as in every room of said motel, inn, or other place wherein lodging or accommodations are offered for rent to the public. Such schedule shall set forth the rate per day, week, and month and every person paying said rate shall be entitled to accommodations for the full length of time covered by said payment, unless he voluntarily relinquishes the same, or forfeits his rights thereto by improper conduct. It shall be unlawful to charge a higher or different rate than is shown on the posted schedule.
