I've certainly read that the USA has some bizarre legal quirks, but surely you can't waive your rights, and everyone has a right to bring a case to court?

I'm currently at odds with my landlord over the rent and the brazenness with which the bozo they've hired just sends us an email saying one thing with a legal letter as an attachment that says the opposite just boggles the mind.

Most countries have some waivable rights. The US specifically allows you to waive your right to bring disputes to court through contracts. You retain the ability to challenge the arbitration requirement in court, but if you have any other concerns, it's arbitration.
