(a) Statement of policy. The intent of this section is to
provide tenant-at-will status to residents of lodging facilities,
as defined in section 6-106, after they have resided in a unit
for thirty (30) days or more. Such lodging facilities offers
sleeping accommodations but few other amenities, and residents of
such housing in the past have been subjected to summary eviction
procedures by landlords who purposefully characterize their
rentals as “lodging houses” and thereby purport to act under
state law in ejecting occupants without any recourse, regardless
of the length of residency.
