Get a Professional CAM Dispute Letter Draft
Already know you're overcharged? Every CAMAudit report includes a dispute letter draft that cites your specific lease clauses, the exact dollar discrepancy, and applicable state law. Choose your tone — Collaborative, Neutral, or Aggressive — and send it yourself or hand it to your attorney.
A Verbal Objection Goes Nowhere. A Written Dispute Letter Creates a Record.
If you've spotted a discrepancy in your CAM reconciliation, the next step is a formal written notice to your landlord. Most commercial leases require written objection within a specific window — typically 90 to 180 days after the landlord delivers the reconciliation statement. Miss that window and you may waive your right to dispute.
A dispute letter that cites the lease clause by section number, quantifies the overcharge, and references the applicable statute of limitations is materially different from an email saying "I think this looks too high." CAMAudit builds that letter from your actual documents — not a template filled with placeholders.
What the Dispute Letter Draft Contains
Specific lease clause citations
The letter identifies the exact section of your lease that was violated — the management fee cap provision, the pro-rata share definition, the CAM exclusion list, or the gross-up limitation. Landlords and their attorneys respond to section numbers, not general complaints.
Calculated dollar discrepancy
CAMAudit runs the math from your lease against what was billed. The letter states the specific overcharge amount for each violation, not a vague objection to the total.
Applicable state law citation
The letter references the statute of limitations for written contract claims in your state, which establishes how far back recovery can go and signals to the landlord that you understand the legal timeline.
Your chosen tone
Collaborative frames the dispute as an error to correct together. Neutral is a factual demand without adversarial framing. Aggressive is a formal demand with explicit reference to audit rights and escalation options.
Audit-rights invocation
Most commercial leases give tenants the right to audit the landlord's supporting records. The letter includes an explicit request to exercise that right, which triggers the landlord's obligation to produce documentation.
Three Dispute Tones — You Choose
Collaborative
Best for: Mid-lease, long-term relationship, smaller overcharge
Frames the discrepancy as a calculation error to correct together. Preserves the landlord relationship while still creating a formal written record.
Neutral
Best for: Standard first demand, any situation
Factual statement of the violation, the amount, and the request for correction. Professional and non-adversarial — appropriate when you don't yet know how the landlord will respond.
Aggressive
Best for: Large overcharge, landlord unresponsive, nearing deadline
Formal demand with explicit invocation of audit rights, reference to the statute of limitations recovery period, and stated intent to escalate if not resolved within a specified window.
