*54 The Legislature has further provided that "[a]ny agreement by a lessee of a dwelling waiving or modifying his rights under Section 1941 or 1942 shall be void as contrary to public policy with respect to any condition which renders the premises untenantable, except that the lessor and the lessee may agree that the lessee shall undertake to improve, repair or maintain all or stipulated portions of the dwelling as part of the consideration for rental." (Civ. Code, § 1942.1; see also Green v. Superior Court, supra, 10 Cal.3d at p. 625, fn. 9.) This last exception is not present here since there was no agreement by a tenant to repair the premises.
