ORS 90.245 states (among other things) that:
(1) A rental agreement may not provide that the tenant:
(a) Agrees to waive or forgo rights or remedies under this chapter;
The rights you cannot be forced to waive are those listed within the chapter, section 90 specifically. A rental agreement can require you to forgo the storage of lawfully obtained and posessed personal goods on the property. This is neither opinion nor conjecture.
For example it is legal to own a 5 gallon can of gasoline, but it is also legal for your landlord to prohibit the possesion and storage of gasoline on his property.
It is legal, if you don't wish to abide by those contractual terms then don't contract with that landlord.
ORS section 90 and all subsequent subsections are available online and detail landlord/tenant relations.
There is no need to hire a lawyer, just read the law.
This is useful info, Thanks.
