Section 127 sets out the requirements when exercising the power of entry without warrant to suspected residential tenancies under section 126 when there are occupiers on the premises.
	Subsection (1) provides that the officer must produce evidence of their identity and special authorisation to the occupier or (if there are more than one) at least one of the occupiers on the premises unless it is not reasonably practicable to do so (subsection (2)).
	Subsection (3) provides that proceedings resulting from the use of the power under section 126, subsection (1) do not become invalid solely because an officer failed to produce evidence of their identity and special authorisation to an occupier.
	Subsection (4) provides that "special authorisation" has the same meaning as in section 126.
