the clause is illegal.  in fact, a number of the clauses in Bob
Schmitz lease contracts are illegal.  consult NC renter's consumer
guides such as:

http://communityhousing.duke.edu/CHO/guide/legal.htm#Dispute

as a landlord, schmitz is "hands off," which is fine if you live in a
property in good repair.

he's sort of a slumlord.
