Recovery of possession by manager of a hotel or the owner of a lodging house.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, the manager of a hotel or the owner of a lodging house

certificate from the Rent Authority certifying--
(a) that the lodger has been guilty of conduct which is a nuisance or which causes annoyance to any
adjoining or neighbouring lodger.

constitutes an offence under the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, 1956 (104 of 1956);
(b) that the accommodation is reasonably and bona fide required by the owner of the hotel or lodging
house, as the case may be, either for his own occupation or for the occupation of any person for whose
benefit the accommodation is held, or any other cause which may be deemed satisfactory to the Rent
Authority;
(c) that the lodger has failed to vacate the accommodation on the termination of the period of the
agreement in respect thereof;
(d) that the lodger has done any act which is inconsistent with the purpose for which the
accommodation was given to him or which is likely to affect adversely or substantially the owner's
interest therein;
