STATE LAW REQUIRES THAT YOU GET THIS IMPORTANT
ADVISORY INFORMATION FOR BUILDING OWNERS AND TENANTS
DAL-001
This information is available in English, Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Korean through the Judicial
Council of California. People with visual impairments can get assistance in viewing this form through the
judicial branch website, at www.courts.ca.gov.
California law requires that you receive this information because the demand letter or court complaint you
received with this document claims that your building or property does not comply with one or more existing
construction-related accessibility laws or regulations protecting the civil rights of people with disabilities to
access public places.
YOU HAVE IMPORTANT LEGAL OBLIGATIONS. Compliance with disability access laws is a serious
and significant responsibility that applies to all California building owners and tenants with buildings open for
business to the public. You may obtain information about your legal obligations and how to comply with
disability access laws through the Division of the State Architect, at www.dgs.ca.gov/dsa. Information is also
available from the California Commission on Disability Access at www.ccda.ca.guide.htm.
YOU HAVE IMPORTANT LEGAL RIGHTS. The allegations made in the accompanying demand letter or
court complaint do not mean that you are required to pay any money unless and until a court finds you liable.
Moreover, RECEIPT OF A DEMAND LETTER OR COURT COMPLAINT AND THIS ADVISORY DOES
NOT NECESSARILY MEAN YOU WILL BE FOUND LIABLE FOR ANYTHING. You will have the right if
you are later sued to fully present an explanation of why you believe you have not in fact violated disability
access laws or have corrected the violation or violations giving rise to the claim.
You have the right to seek assistance or advice about this demand letter or court complaint from any person of
your choice. If you have insurance, you may also wish to contact your insurance provider. Your best interest
may be served by seeking legal advice or representation from an attorney, but you may also represent yourself
and file the necessary court papers to protect your interests if you are served with a court complaint. If you have
hired an attorney to represent you, you should immediately notify your attorney.
If a court complaint has been served on you, you will get a separate advisory notice with the complaint advising
you of special options and procedures available to you under certain conditions.
ADDITIONAL THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW: ATTORNEY MISCONDUCT. Except for limited
circumstances, state law generally requires that a prelitigation demand letter from an attorney MAY NOT
MAKE A REQUEST OR DEMAND FOR MONEY OR AN OFFER OR AGREEMENT TO ACCEPT
MONEY. Moreover, a demand letter from an attorney MUST INCLUDE THE ATTORNEY’S STATE BAR
LICENSE NUMBER.
If you believe the attorney who provided you with this notice and prelitigation demand letter is not complying
with state law, you may send a copy of the demand letter you received from the attorney to the State Bar of
California by facsimile transmission to 1-415-538-2171, or by mail to the State Bar of California, 180 Howard
Street, San Francisco, CA 94105, Attention: Professional Competence.

IMPORTANT ADVISORY INFORMATION
FOR BUILDING OWNERS AND TENANTS
(Disability Access Litigation)
STATE LAW REQUIRES THAT YOU GET THIS IMPORTANT
ADVISORY INFORMATION FOR BUILDING OWNERS AND TENANTS
REDUCING YOUR DAMAGES. If you are a small business owner and correct all of the construction-related
violations that are the basis of the complaint against you within 30 days of being served with the complaint, you
may qualify for reduced damages. You may wish to consult an attorney to obtain legal advice. You may also
wish to contact the California Commission on Disability Access for additional information about the rights and
obligations of business owners.
COMMERCIAL TENANT. If you are a commercial tenant, you may not be responsible for ensuring that some
or all portions of the premises you lease for your business, including common areas such as parking lots, are
accessible to the public because those areas may be the responsibility of your landlord. You may want to refer
to your lease agreement and consult with an attorney or contact your landlord, to determine if your landlord is
responsible for maintaining and improving some or all of the areas you lease.
