To the second question, we respond that a lease provision requiring a tenant to have the premises professionally cleaned at the end of the lease, on penalty of bearing the costs of repairs regardless of whether the damage is reasonable wear and tear, conflicts with G. L. c. 186, § 15B (4), because the provision allows for deductions from the security deposit to repair reasonable wear and tear in violation of G. L. c. 186, § 15B (4) (iii).  Such a lease provision is void and unenforceable under G. L. c. 186, § 15B (8).[3]
