South Australian Current Acts South Australian Current Acts31—Determination of tenancy of brothels
(1) Upon the
conviction of the tenant, lessee or occupier of premises for permitting the
premises, or a part of the premises, to be used as a brothel, the landlord or
lessor may require the person so convicted to assign the lease or other
contract under which the premises are held to some person approved by the
landlord or lessor (which approval must not be unreasonably withheld).
(2) If a person so
convicted fails within one month to assign the lease or contract in accordance
with a requirement made under subsection (1), the landlord or lessor may
determine the lease or other contract, but without prejudice to any rights or
remedies of a party to the lease or contract in respect of anything done or
omitted before the determination of the lease or contract.
(3) If the landlord or
lessor, after such a conviction has been brought to his or her notice, fails
to exercise the rights under subsection (1) and subsequently during the
subsistence of the lease or contract the premises are again used as a brothel,
the landlord or lessor will be taken to have permitted the premises to be used
as a brothel.
(4) Where a landlord
or lessor determines a lease or other contract under the powers conferred by
this section and subsequently grants another lease or enters into another
contract of tenancy to, with or for the benefit of the same person, without
causing to be inserted in the lease or contract reasonable and adequate
provisions for preventing the premises from being used as a brothel, he or she
will, if the premises are subsequently used as a brothel, be taken to have
permitted the premises to be used as a brothel.
