- Every hotelkeeper may, in a reasonable and appropriate manner, evict a person from his hotel (the hotel directed by him) when such person insists on violating the rules and regulations approved by said hotel in spite of having been notified about same and of having been warned that he should cease and desist violating these rules or regulations; or commits any act whatever, or does anything offensive to the guests of the hotel or anything damaging to the reputation, dignity or credit of the hotel, or through his acts does anything detrimental to the business of the hotel, whether or not it is specifically mentioned in any rule or regulation. The term “person” as is used in this section, shall include, but without limitation, a guest or tenant of the hotel.
- A hotelkeeper who reasonably believes that he has a right to evict any person from the premises of his hotel, shall first make known to the said person, either verbally or in writing, that his presence is not desired on the premises of the hotel; and at the same time he shall be asked to leave, either immediately, or at a specified date and time. If the person thus advised is a guest who has paid in advance, the hotelkeeper shall refund said guest upon serving said notice the proportional part of the advance payment which has not been used.
- The hotelkeeper shall serve a written notice to said person advising him that he should vacate the hotel within a given period of time and letting him know that if he fails to do so he may be dislodged.
- The hotelkeeper shall indicate in said notice whether the departure is required immediately or at a later date and time.
- In the event any person is illegally on the property of the hotel, the hotelkeeper may solicit the aid of any member of the police, and it shall be the obligation of every member of the Police Force, at the request of the hotelkeeper, to evict immediately such person from the property of the hotel and with the use of force no greater than the circumstances require.
- Any person who stays or intends to stay in a hotel for any period of time beyond the period of his reservation as previously indicated by him and as accepted by the hotel shall be considered as illegally remaining on the premises of the hotel and may be evicted from said premises of the hotel, unless the hotel is agreeable to extending the period of said person’s original reservation.
- Any person who continues to occupy his room in a hotel beyond the announced checkout time established by such hotel shall be considered as illegally remaining in occupancy of said room and may be evicted from his room after verbal or written notice is served upon such person by the management of the hotel.
