        562A.7  UNCONSCIONABILITY.
         1.  If the court, as a matter of law, finds that:
         a.  A rental agreement or any provision of it was
      unconscionable when made, the court may refuse to enforce the
      agreement, enforce the remainder of the agreement without the
      unconscionable provision, or limit the application of an
      unconscionable provision to avoid an unconscionable result.
         b.  A settlement in which a party waives or agrees to forego a
      claim or right under this chapter or under a rental agreement was
      unconscionable at the time it was made, the court may refuse to
      enforce the settlement, enforce the remainder of the settlement
      without the unconscionable provision, or limit the application of an
      unconscionable provision to avoid any unconscionable result.
         2.  If unconscionability is put into issue by a party or by the
      court upon its own motion the parties shall be afforded a reasonable
      opportunity to present evidence as to the setting, purpose, and
      effect of the rental agreement or settlement to aid the court in
      making the determination.
