When any of the following items applies, a private lodging business operator must entrust its private lodging management services subject to the relevant notified residence to a private lodging manager pursuant to the provisions of Order of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare; provided, however, that this does not apply if the private lodging business operator is a private lodging manager, and the private lodging business operator provides the private lodging management services for the notified residence on its own:
if the number of rooms in the notified residence exceeds the number of rooms specified by Order of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare as the number at which the proper implementation of the private lodging management services is not likely to be hindered even if a private lodging business operator provides all the services for all the rooms; or
if the business operator is absent (excluding cases specified by Order of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare as being temporary) while a person is staying in a notified residence (this case excludes cases in which it is found that there is no risk of causing hindrance to the proper implementation of private lodging management services without a private lodging business operator's entrusting those services to a private lodging manager, in consideration of the distance between the residence the private lodging business operator uses and the notified residence and other circumstances).
The provisions of Article 5 through the preceding Article do not apply to a private lodging business operator that runs a private lodging business in a notified residence for which private lodging management services have been entrusted.
