I already investigated this.
It IS LEGAL for all apartments in all states as far as I know. The question is: Is it ENFORCIBLE?
Will the Police evict the tenant for you?
The answer is yes, ONLY if you have cooperative POLICE who are willing to cooperate with you. Most police do not want to get involved.
Of course, the clause is to help you avoid having to go to court. If it doesn't scare the tenants out and you wind of in court, it's a moot point isn't it?

As far as rent controlled units in NYC, now that would depend on the rent control laws in NYC which are designed to protect the tenants. I'm guessing you can have anything you want in the lease, but making the tenants comply or having the courts enforce it is always another story.
