I'm in university right now and our housing contract has a clause stating:
"The University reserves the right to repossess student rooms and residence hall facilities in the event of an epidemic or other emergency as defined by the University."
Happy I live off campus.
- crooked-v 7y agoThat clause seems like the kind of thing a judge would immediately throw out the window when it conflicts with tenancy laws.
- nexuist 7y agoThis is a state university for what it's worth. I doubt they haven't already run it by lawyers.

- kwhitefoot 7y ago> Many contracts that have illegal/unenforceable clauses have been run by lawyers... Many contracts that have illegal/unenforceable clauses have them because they have been been run by lawyers. They know perfectly well that most ordinary people are in no position to tell whether or not a clause is enforceable. My landlady when I was at uni (74-77) tried it on me not realizing that my girlfriend was studying land law and contract law at the time.

- HarryHirsch 7y agoThat assumes that the judge isn't crooked. Judges are locally elected, and they may not wish to go against the largest employer/donor in town.
- bradstewart 7y agoJust because it says that, doesn't make it legal. I have no idea if it or isn't, but contracts can and do include illegal and/or unenforceable clauses.
