Notwithstanding any law, rule or regulation to the contrary, if a tenant or occupant of a building or tenement, under a lawful title, is found after a hearing at which the tenant or occupant has appeared to have used such place for a criminal nuisance-related purpose, such use makes void the lease or other title under which the tenant or occupant holds, at the option of the owner, and, without any act of the owner, causes the right of possession to revert to vest in such owner.
