No I don't.

Do you think any section of the Housing Act or any other legislation would supercede the term we are discussing? If so kindly point me to it.

This is irrelevant, and giving the op the wrong advice.

Before anyone can advise properly, the specifics of the agreement need to be known.

Unless there is a policy reason why it is not lawful (illegality, imorality, etc) or it flies in the face of a statutory provision which cannot be contracted out of, or there is clear case law, then it is, per se, lawful and enforceable.

I'd recommend Cheshire, Fifoot and Furmston's Law of Contract.

Like the carefully worded tenancy agreement that you signed.

Until you get a copy and carefully read the tenancy agreement, you don't know what your rights are. I guess that this will be another one of those threads that the OP doesn't bother to update with the final outcome.
