(2) A landlord may not require as part of the improvements under the rental agreement that a tenant: (a) Pay any fee to the landlord for improvements. (b) Pay any system development charges. (c) Construct or repair an improvement that cannot be reasonably removed and owned by the tenant at the termination of the tenancy, except for porches, stairs, decks, awnings, carports, sheds or vegetative landscaping on the site or any other improvements necessary for the safe and lawful installation of the manufactured dwelling. (3) Except as provided in ORS 41.740, a written statement provided under this section is considered to contain all of the terms relating to improvements that a prospective tenant must make under the rental agreement.
