Hello,
The contract can not conflict with the applicable statute that governs. If it were before a judge, the judge would strike out that clause as being void. Any such lease provision that conflicts with state law will be considered unenforceable, regardless of whether there was agreement between the landlord and tenant for the inclusion of such a clause.
thanks.
Matt
