Owners and operators shall have all the duties and responsibilities prescribed in this chapter, and no owner or operator shall be relieved from any such duty or responsibility or be entitled to defend against any charge of violation of this chapter by reason of the fact that the occupant is also responsible therefor and in violation thereof.
Unless expressly provided to the contrary in this chapter, the respective obligations and responsibilities of the owner and operator on one hand, and the occupant on the other, shall not be altered or affected by any agreement or contract by and between any of them or between them and other parties.
The provisions of this chapter shall apply equally to any occupant, owner, agent, superintendent, officer, member, partner, trustee or receiver who, alone or with others, has a legal or equitable ownership in the premises, or has possession, charge, care or control of the premises.
