I suspect it wouldn't stand up in court or mediation.
That said, looks like it's working out great so on the flip side I'd gladly pay that $250 and be merrily on my way.

I also agree that it wouldn't stand up in court, but I wonder if it would if it was in the lease and called out as liquidated damages. Even in a hot market I use a lot of my time re-leasing a place. I get 30 calls, answer questions, tell people when to come, and spend a couple hours showing the place. I wouldn't choose to re-rent a place for someone in exchange for $250, so I don't think that's too much for having to do it more often from a fairness persepective, but I've never charged because I don't think its legal.
