§ 235-c. Unconscionable lease or clause. 1. If the court as a matter

of law finds a lease or any clause of the lease to have been

unconscionable at the time it was made the court may refuse to enforce

the lease, or it may enforce the remainder of the lease without the

unconscionable clause, or it may so limit the application of any

unconscionable clause as to avoid any unconscionable result.

2. When it is claimed or appears to the court that a lease or any

clause thereof may be unconscionable the parties shall be afforded a

reasonable opportunity to present evidence as to its setting, purpose

and effect to aid the court in making the determination.
