Management fee overcharges are one of the most common and easiest-to-prove CAM billing errors. If your lease caps the management fee at a specific percentage and your reconciliation shows a higher percentage applied, you have a clear, documentable overcharge. CAMAudit runs the math automatically using your lease terms.
TL;DR
Management fee overcharges compound annually and can accumulate to significant amounts over a multi-year lease; catching and disputing them early stops the overcharge from repeating in future reconciliation cycles.
Who this is for
Tenants whose lease includes a specific management fee cap, usually expressed as a percentage of gross revenues or base rent, and who suspect the landlord has applied a higher percentage on their reconciliation.
Who this is not for
Tenants whose lease is silent on management fee limits, meaning the landlord has discretion to charge whatever is reasonable, or tenants on gross leases where management costs are bundled into base rent.
Management Fee Overcharge
CAMAudit extracts the management fee percentage cap from your lease, calculates what the fee should be based on the allowable base, and compares it to what's billed. Any excess is flagged with the dollar amount overcharged.
