Pre-Agreement with renter: Bypass moratoriums

This is one of those "shower thoughts" that we all sorta get. At least I do. 

Let's say I'm getting into a new lease agreement with a tenant. This is nothing to do with current, only future. 

Is there language that could be placed into the agreement that essentially bypasses the eviction laws if the person does not exit? Something like a personal guarantee, or a promissory note? The person agrees up front to let you take some sort of action against them if they go 2 months without making payment. Something like:
"I <tenant name> agree that upon the 61st day of non-payment, I agree that owner can enter unit and remove belongings to be placed in a storage unit which <tenant name> agree to pay".    OR
"I <tenant name> agree that if I'm a deadbeat, owner can take XYZ steps to encourage me to leave the property". 

Would something like that be legal, practical, ethical?
