Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the subject premises, the commercial property owner or lessor may not prohibit the lessee or tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the subject premises for the occupancy or potential occupancy of the lessee or tenant, if requested by the lessee or tenant. The parties shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and the cost of making any repairs to correct violations of the construction related accessibility standards within the premises.”
Pursuant to Section 1938 of the Civil Code, upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lessor, Lessee shall have the right to require a CASp inspection of the Premises. If Lessee requires a CASp inspection of the Premises, then: (a) Lessor and Lessee shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection during such 30-day period; (b) the contract with the CASp inspector shall require the inspector to perform the inspection in accordance with the standard of care applicable to experts performing such inspections, and Lessor shall be an intended third party beneficiary of such contract; (c) the CASp inspection shall be conducted (i) at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, (ii) by a CASp reasonably approved in advance by Lessor, (iii) in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, and (iv) shall be addressed to, and, upon completion, promptly delivered to, Lessor and Lessee; (d) the information in the inspection shall not be disclosed by Lessee to anyone other than contractors, subcontractors, and consultants of Lessee who are retained by Lessee to complete any repairs or correct violations to the extent that Lessee has agreed to undertake such repairs or corrections or who otherwise have a need to know the information therein and who are directed not to further disclose such information; and (e) Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as and when required by Lessor, the cost of making any repairs to correct violations of the construction related accessibility standards within or relating to the Premises.
11. Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of which will constitute an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. The parties agree that a signed copy of this Amendment transmitted by one party to the other party(ies) by facsimile, by electronic transmission, or by an electronic signature platform (such as DocuSign) will be binding upon the sending party to the same extent as if it had delivered a signed original of this Amendment.
