I think it would be an improvement if we could simply get companies to not include already illegal (i.e. unenforceable) clauses. For instance, apartments charging "concession payback" on broken leases, which is really just obfuscatory language for "a fee several times larger than our actual damages on top of the fee for damages". See this, for instance.
