4. Miscellaneous Provisions: A. Any lease of any of the Restricted Units must be for not less than one year, unless by mutual agreement between the tenant and the Developer. Should the tenant and Developer agree to a term of less than one year, said agreement shall be expressed in written form, signed by the tenant, and maintained in the tenant's rental file held by the Developer. The lease may not contain any of the following provisions (in which references to "Developer" shall mean the Developer, its successors or assigns): (1) Agreement by the tenant to be sued, to admit guilt, or to a judgment in favor of the Developer in a lawsuit brought in connection with the lease; (2) Agreement by the tenant that the Developer may take, hold, or sell personal property of household members without notice to the tenant and a court decision on the rights of the parties. This prohibition, however, does not apply to an agreement by the tenant concerning disposition of personal property remaining in the Restricted Unit after the tenant has moved out of the Restricted Unit. The Developer may dispose of this personal property in accordance with state law; (3) Agreement by the tenant not to hold the Developer or the Developer's agent legally responsible for any action or failure to act, whether intentional or negligent; (4) Agreement of the tenant that the Developer may institute a lawsuit without notice to the tenant; (5) Agreement by the tenant that the Developer may evict the tenant or household members without instituting a civil court proceeding in which the tenant has the opportunity to present a defense, or before a court decision on the rights of the parties; (6) Agreement by the tenant to waive any right to a trial by jury; (7) Agreement by the tenant to waive the tenant's right to appeal, or to otherwise challenge in court, a court decision in connection with the lease; and, (8) Agreement by the tenant to pay attorney's fees or other legal costs even if the tenant wins in a court proceeding by the Developer against the tenant. The tenant, however, may be obligated to pay costs if the tenant loses. B. Developer, its successors or assigns, must adhere to state law requirements with regard to termination of tenancy. 14 80A-154
