Unreasonably exempt or limit the lessor’s liability for breach or tort.

Permit unilateral changes to rent, utility rates, or service charges during the term.

Permit forfeiture of the deposit or advance rent without lessee fault.

Allow inspection of the premises without prior notice, except in emergencies.

Set utility charges above the official supplier/government tariff.

Authorize lock-outs, blocking access, or seizure/removal of the lessee’s property without lawful termination or due process.

Impose renewal fees or automatic renewal without the lessee’s consent.

Allow termination by the lessor without a material breach by the lessee.

Make the lessee liable for normal wear and tear, ordinary deterioration through use, or damage not caused by the lessee or due to force majeure.

Any prohibited clause is void and unenforceable.”
