These protections shall also extend to\nany residential occupant upon whose behalf a third party has called for\npolice or emergency assistance.\n 2. No residential occupant shall be required, either orally or in\nwriting, to waive rights under this article, and any such waiver shall\nbe void and unenforceable.\n
