How to use OR operator in postman pm.test

I am attempting to create a test that checks a json response to contain either one property or another.

My example:

pm.expect(jsonData.data.owner).to.have.property('orgName') || 
pm.expect(jsonData.data.owner).to.have.property('firstName')

I can't seem to find any documentation on using or operators in the new pm.expect() syntax.

I was looking for answer to implement OR in postman tests, but didn't found any. I've done just a simple if statement to determine which of the conditions should be checked. (Knowing the business logic). In my application I had to check if we support german language, but if we don't by default we set it to english. It was easy because I've took the value from my json and than manualy check which condition should be the valid one. This might help you and anyone else in further implementation of this. So for me it looked like this: 

   pm.test("German language support.", function(){
   var jsonData = pm.response.json();
      if(jsonData.count() > 0){
          var langCode = jsonData[0].language.code;
          if(langCode === "en"){
          pm.expect(jsonData[0].language.code).to.eql("en") ;
          }else{
                 pm.expect(jsonData[0].language.code).to.eql("de") 
          }
      }
});

first you misuse pm.expect, you should do something like 

pm.expect(jsonData.data.owner).to.have.property('property_name','property_value)

I'm afraid that it is not straightforward to implement or condition ... see examples here
