Tenants in Bondable Net Lease structures face specific overcharge risks tied to how expenses are allocated and billed. CamAudit runs 12 forensic detection rules on your reconciliation statement to identify every recoverable dollar.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
