Landlords would have little incentive to omit such clauses and change their
       practice. A landlord could insert the clauses with relative impunity,
       knowing that the court will merely ignore this unfair trade practice by
       severing the clause.
              Not only would landlords likely suffer no consequences from the
       violation, but they would also reap the unfair benefit of the clause’s
       inclusion—the potential intimidation that such a clause poses. By the
       undeterred inclusion of such clauses, tenants may continue to be
       intimidated into forgoing their legal rights. Baierl, ¶¶ 34-35.
