It is enforceable against the tenant only if: (a) Its purpose is to promote the convenience, safety, or welfare of the tenants in the premises, preserve the landlord's property from abusive use, or make a fair distribution of services and facilities held out for the tenants generally; (b) It is reasonably related to the purpose for which it is adopted; (c) It applies to all tenants in the premises in a fair manner; (d) It is sufficiently explicit in its prohibition, direction, or limitation of the tenant's conduct to fairly inform him of what he must or must not do to comply; (e) It is not for the purpose of evading the obligations of the landlord; and (f) The tenant has notice of it at the time he enters into the rental agreement, or when it is adopted.
