'Due process requires that there be an opportunity to present every available defense.' American Surety Co. v. Baldwin, 287 U.S. 156 , 168 , 53 S.Ct. 98, 102, 77 L.Ed. 231 (1932). See also Nickey v. Mississippi, 292 U.S. 393 , 396 , 54 S.Ct. 743, 744, 78 L.Ed. 1323 (1934). Appellants do not deny, however, that there are available procedures to litigate any claims against the landlord cognizable in Oregon. Their claim is that they are denied due process of law because the rental payments are not suspended while the alleged wrongdoings of the landlord are litigated. 12 We see no constitutional barrier to Oregon's insistence that the tenant provide for accruing rent pending judicial settlement of his disputes with the lessor. 13 9
