(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 rebuttable presumption that the establishment is an adult motel as that term is defined in this chapter.
(b) A person commits a misdemeanor 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 or she rents or sub-rents a sleeping room to a person and, within ten hours from the time the room is rented, he or she rents or sub- rents the same sleeping room again.
(c) For purposes of division (b) of this section, the terms “rent” or “sub-rent” mean the act of permitting a room to be occupied for any form of consideration.
