Experts Offer Solutions on How Buildings Can Give Tenants the Services they Want at Our Tenant Amenities Seminar

buildings must capture people in every step of their day,
and our speakers talked about how you can do that
using everything from the power of scent
to
technology-focused services
that are not only convenient, but also help tenants stay connected and save time and money.

ADA Lawsuit Survey: Tell Us How You’ve Been Affected
Earlier this year, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill
designed to curb the practice
of so-called
“drive-by” lawsuits,
which are often designed to result in a quick settlement for the plaintiff rather than to remedy the alleged ADA infraction or increase accessibility. The legislation would create a
“notice and cure” period of 120 days
to allow building owners and other businesses the chance to
remedy an accessibility issue
before the commencement of litigation. Although the bill passed the House with bipartisan support, it
failed to move forward in the Senate.
As these lawsuits increase nationwide,
BOMA International wants to hear your stories
to show lawmakers how prevalent this problem is for their constituents.
If you have dealt with “drive-by” lawsuits,
please fill out this survey here,
which is being jointly conducted with
ICSC
and other organizations. The survey is
completely anonymous
and information will not be shared. For more information, please contact BOMA International’s Director of Federal Affairs,
Emily Naden
, by email at
enaden@boma.org
