(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) No person shall, while in control of a sleeping room in a hotel, motel, or similar commercial establishment that does not have a sexually oriented business or adult entertainment business license, rent or subrent a sleeping room to a person and, within ten hours from the time the room is rented, rent or subrent the same sleeping room again.
(c) For the purpose of this section, the terms "rent" or "subrent" mean the act of permitting a room to be occupied for any form of consideration, including no consideration.
