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.

Bondable Net Lease: CAM Audit Guide

Last updated: April 2026

By Angel Campa, Founder

Bondable Net Lease tenants face specific billing risks tied to how expenses are allocated and reconciled. The most common error appears in the section below. CAMAudit runs 14 forensic detection rules on your reconciliation statement to identify every recoverable dollar.

Most Common Overcharge

Administrative or management fees charged by a landlord who performs no management duties. In sale-leaseback transactions, the original property owner becomes the tenant and a new investor becomes the landlord, any fee the new landlord charges for "property management" that the tenant performs independently is a direct overcharge with no lease justification.

What Is a Bondable Net Lease?

The most extreme form of commercial lease, where the tenant's rent obligation is absolutely unconditional, the tenant cannot terminate, abate, offset, or reduce rent under any circumstances whatsoever, including total destruction of the premises. Named because the lease is as creditworthy as a corporate bond. Bondable net leases are exclusively used for investment-grade tenants in sale-leaseback transactions where the property is being used as a financing vehicle.

Bondable Net Lease Expense Pass-Throughs

Identical to an absolute net lease in scope, tenant pays 100% of all expenses including taxes, insurance, maintenance, capital replacements, and structural costs. The distinction from absolute net is the unconditional rent obligation: even if the building is destroyed by fire, flood, or condemnation, the tenant must continue paying rent and must rebuild or replace the premises.

Bondable Net Lease CAM Calculation & Billing

No landlord CAM, the tenant pays all expenses directly to vendors. The landlord receives only the ground rent or base rent with no other receivables. The tenant effectively owns and operates the property for all practical purposes while the landlord holds fee title as a financing mechanism.

Red Flags to Watch

  • ▶Any landlord management or administrative fee
  • ▶CPI escalation without a cap (unlimited inflation exposure)
  • ▶"Fair market" rent reset without independent appraisal rights for the tenant
  • ▶Casualty clause that does not clearly define the tenant's rebuild obligation and timeline

Audit Focus

Verify zero landlord fees of any kind, administrative, management, or coordination. Review rent escalation provisions carefully: bondable net leases typically have fixed annual step-ups or CPI-linked increases with caps. Confirm that any "fair market" rent reset provision has a clearly defined independent appraisal methodology and tenant arbitration rights.
