If the owner, agent or lessee of premises against which an injunction has been issued, appears in court, pays all costs of the proceeding and files a bond, with surety approved by the clerk and qualified as required by KRS § 454.185, in the full value of the premises as ascertained by the court, conditioned that he will immediately abate the house of prostitution and prevent it from being established or kept within a period of one (1) year, the court may, if satisfied of his good faith, order the premises released to the owner, agent or lessee and the order of abatement canceled so far as it relates to the premises. If the bond is given and costs are paid before judgment and the order of abatement, the action shall be terminated as to those premises. The release of the premises under this section shall not release it from any other judgment, lien or liability, to which it may be subject.
