 7 a value equivalent at all times to the full replacement value thereof.
 8 2. Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law, the proceeds of
 9 any fire insurance contract on a multiple dwelling shall be used to
 10 restore the damaged property to a habitable condition at least equiv-
 11 alent to the condition of such multiple dwelling prior to the loss.
 12 3. If a multiple dwelling is to be occupied as such after a loss reim-
 13 bursable pursuant to such fire insurance contract, any person who was a

 15 therefor shall have the opportunity to continue their occupancy after
 16 restoration for the duration of their lease under the same terms and
 17 conditions as before said loss.
 18 4. Any provision in a sales contract, mortgage indenture, lease or
 19 other document contrary to the provisions of this section shall be void
