Section 235-C. Unconscionable lease or clause  


Latest version.
  • 1. If the court as a matter
      of law  finds  a  lease  or  any  clause  of  the  lease  to  have  been
      unconscionable  at  the time it was made the court may refuse to enforce
      the lease, or it may enforce the remainder  of  the  lease  without  the
      unconscionable  clause,  or  it  may  so  limit  the  application of any
      unconscionable clause as to avoid any unconscionable result.
        2. When it is claimed or appears to the court  that  a  lease  or  any
      clause  thereof  may  be  unconscionable the parties shall be afforded a
      reasonable opportunity to present evidence as to  its  setting,  purpose
      and effect to aid the court in making the determination.
