Two Documents, Two Minutes: What Your CAM Audit Needs

Two documents. That's it. Here's what to look for and what formats work.

Definition

CAM reconciliation statement

A CAM reconciliation statement is the annual accounting your landlord provides showing every operating expense allocated to the building, your pro-rata share percentage, and the balance owed or credited for the year. It is the document CAMAudit checks for overcharges.

1

Your CAM reconciliation statement

This is the annual bill your property manager sends you. It shows every expense they allocated to the building, your pro-rata share percentage, and what you owe (or already paid) for the year.

Most statements come as a PDF. If your property manager uses Yardi, MRI, AppFolio, or RealPage, you can also export directly from those systems. Excel and CSV exports work fine.

Can't find yours?

Search your email for the subject line "CAM reconciliation" or "annual reconciliation statement." If you can't find one, contact your property manager and ask for the prior-year reconciliation.
2

Your commercial lease agreement

CAMAudit reads your lease to understand what your landlord is actually allowed to charge. Without the lease, there is nothing to check against.

Upload the full lease, not just the rent rider. CAM provisions often show up in exhibits or addenda, so a partial document will cause some rules to skip.

Include amendments

If your lease has been amended, upload those too. Amendments can change your pro-rata share percentage, your CAM cap, or what expenses are excluded.

For your lease: PDF, Word (.docx), JPEG, PNG, or TIFF.

Scanned documents work. If the scan is blurry or the text is very small, quality drops and some extractions may miss detail.

Recovery of past CAM overcharges depends on your specific lease terms, including any audit rights deadlines or ‘binding and conclusive’ provisions, and on applicable state law. State statute of limitations periods apply to written contracts and range from 3 to 10 years; your actual lookback window may be shorter based on your lease.
