Commercial Lease & CAM Audit

The reconciliation statement
nobody reads

What to send

Your lease including amendments, and the last one to three annual CAM reconciliation statements.

If you lease commercial space, your landlord bills you each year for common area maintenance, taxes, and insurance — a reconciliation most tenants pay without checking. Charges outside the lease’s definitions, costs above negotiated caps, capital expenses passed through as maintenance, and simple pro-rata math errors are the standard findings in this well-documented category of lease disputes.

Where the money hides

Clause against invoice

Every cost category is read back against the lease’s own definitions before the pro-rata arithmetic is checked.

CAM reconciliation — annual statement Illustrative example
Tenant pro-rata share 8.40%. Amounts shown are the tenant’s share of each building cost.
01 Landscaping & snow removal $86,400.00 × 8.40% $7,257.60
02 Parking lot resurfacing $142,000.00 × 8.40% $11,928.00
Resurfacing replaces the lot rather than maintaining it, and the lease excludes capital replacements from CAM. Struck from the reconciliation, the tenant’s share falls by $11,928.00 to $28,543.20.
03 Property management fee $38,600.00 × 8.40% $3,242.40
04 Insurance & property taxes $214,800.00 × 8.40% $18,043.20
Tenant share as billed $40,471.20
