Are you up to speed on California Law that now requires YOU to have YOUR balconies and other elevated exterior elements (“EEEs” or “EEEs”) at your building inspected by January 1, 2026?  Make sure YOU are in compliance with the law!

During the webinar, we will review the various aspects of SB 721, and explain exactly what is meant by an “elevated exterior element.”  We will discuss the reasons why SB 721 was created and discuss the bill’s specific inspection and reporting requirements. SB 721 makes mandatory an inspection of properties with wooden exterior elevated elements (EEE’s), which include balconies, overhead walkways, stairwells, and railings. Most importantly, learn how much these inspections cost and how you can get your inspections completed on time before the deadline.

WEBINAR DISCUSSION TOPICS INCLUDE:

• Balcony Inspection Deadline Extension: Key information about the extension of balcony inspection deadlines under SB721 and SB326, who it applies to, and how to remain compliant.

• PLUS we’ll discuss Tenant Rights & Eviction Laws: Insight into current tenant rights, eviction procedures, and legal considerations for property managers and landlords, including how to handle non-compliance and disputes.

• Compliance with Assembly Bill 2801: A detailed overview of the new laws, with a focus on AB 2801 and how it impacts property owners, managers, and HOAs in California.

• Security Deposit Law Updates: A breakdown of recent changes to California’s security deposit laws, including what landlords can and cannot deduct, timelines for return, and documentation requirements.
