Simple California pre-move out inspection question

[Kelly M.]

I feel silly about this question because it really shouldn't be so difficult, but here it goes:

In California, the landlord must notify the tenant of their right to a pre-move out inspection and then the "The inspection cannot be scheduled earlier than two weeks before the end of the tenancy or lease term."

I am confused by the use of the word "earlier" in the stipulation that states the "inspection cannot be scheduled earlier than two weeks before the end of the tenancy or lease term."  

• Does that mean that the inspection needs to be done in 2 weeks or LESS from the end of lease, i.e the lease ends on June 30th, therefore, the inspection needs to be held any time from June 15-30th.  
• Or, does that mean the inspection needs to be done 2 weeks or MORE from the end of lease, i.e the lease ends on June 30th, therefore, the inspection needs to be held any time before June 15th. 

Sorry for the silly question but logic tells me that the inspection should be held 2 weeks or MORE from the end of lease so as to give the tenant enough time to fix issues but in reading the law it appears that it should be held less than 2 weeks from the end of the lease.  

Please clear up the confusion for me in plain English.

Thank you!

@Kelly M.  I like the way this law firm phrased it in this blog post: https://www.kts-law.com/security-deposit-law-for-california-residential-landlords/, which is "the landlord must inspect the premises during the final two weeks of the tenant's occupancy."  The language is more clear that way (and correct).
