Illegal waiver of rights.
It is an unfair and deceptive trade practice in violation of Title 5, section 207 for a landlord to require a tenant to enter into a lease or tenancy at will agreement for a dwelling unit, as defined in section 6021 , in which the tenant agrees to a provision that has the effect of waiving a tenant right established in chapter 709 , this chapter or chapter 710‑A . This subsection does not apply when the law specifically allows the tenant to waive a statutory right during negotiations with the landlord.
