Westfield Plaza, Suite 140
A sample CAM audit you can inspect without logging in.
Here's what we found.
We found 4 overcharges in this lease.
Money your client can ask the landlord to pay back.
Every dollar here points to a line in the lease and a line on the bill. You review each one and sign off before your client sees it.
The 4 overcharges
Management Fee Overcharge
The landlord charged a 5% management fee. Your lease caps it at 3%. They billed more than the lease allows.
High severityLease clause
“Management fees shall not exceed three percent (3%) of total Common Area costs.”
Section 6.3, page 12

CAM Cap Violation
Your lease only lets controllable costs rise 5% a year. The landlord billed more than that cap.
High severityPro-Rata Share Error
Your lease sets your client's share of the building at 11.5%. The bill used 13.0%, so they paid for more space than they rent.
High severityLandlord Overhead Pass-Through
The bill included corporate office costs. Your lease only allows costs to run this one property.
Medium severityOne more thing to review
This finding doesn't have a dollar amount yet, but it's worth a look before you close the audit.
Gross-Up Review
The landlord grossed up fixed costs like taxes and insurance as if the building were full. Fixed costs should not be grossed up. We can't put a dollar amount on this from one year of data — review the clause before you bill it.
