That would also preclude non-disclosure agreements. I'm curious if you also find those unreasonable?

Washington state does this with some parts of tenant law. There are certain tenant rights about habitability (heating, etc.) that are protected by law, and cannot be nullified by a rental/lease contract, even with consideration. The law states that the tenant legally cannot waive those rights.
