A late reconciliation affects your audit rights window and can be used as grounds to dispute the reconciliation procedurally. Most leases require the landlord to deliver the annual statement within 90 to 180 days after year end. If yours has not arrived, document the delay, know your dispute window, and run the audit the moment it does arrive. CAMAudit extracts your deadline from your lease.
TL;DR
A late reconciliation can actually benefit you: many leases include a provision that if the statement is not delivered by the deadline, the landlord waives the right to charge the true-up for that year.
Who this is for
Tenants who have not received their annual CAM reconciliation statement by the deadline specified in their lease and want to understand their rights and next steps.
Who this is not for
Tenants whose lease does not specify a delivery deadline for the annual reconciliation, or where the delay is a few weeks rather than months.
CAM Cap Violation
Once the reconciliation arrives, CAMAudit immediately checks cap compliance since delayed reconciliations often come with inflated totals.
Management Fee Overcharge
CAMAudit verifies the management fee percentage against your lease cap, which is especially important when a delayed statement covers a period when costs may have escalated.
Pro-Rata Share Error
The pro-rata calculation is validated automatically when the reconciliation is uploaded, regardless of how late it arrived.
Gross-Up Violation
CAMAudit checks gross-up violations in the delayed reconciliation, which often apply inflated occupancy assumptions for a period that has already passed.
Common Area Misclassification
The scan flags misclassified capital expenses in the late reconciliation, which landlords sometimes include when catching up multiple cost periods in one statement.
