A CAM true-up bill arrives when your monthly CAM estimates during the year fell short of actual costs. Sometimes that shortfall is legitimate, but often it reflects errors in how the landlord calculated the underlying expenses. CAMAudit checks the reconciliation math for all 13 rule violations before you write a check.
TL;DR
Paying a true-up without auditing it first locks in the error; auditing before payment gives you leverage to dispute the bill before money leaves your account.
Who this is for
Tenants who received an unexpected year-end true-up invoice and want to verify whether the amount is correct before paying.
Who this is not for
Tenants whose monthly CAM estimates have been routinely adjusted to match actual costs throughout the year and who have already reviewed the reconciliation in detail.
CAM Cap Violation
CAMAudit checks whether the total controllable expenses on the true-up reconciliation exceed the cap your lease establishes, which would make part of the true-up bill unenforceable.
Management Fee Overcharge
The scan verifies that the management fee billed in the reconciliation does not exceed the lease-defined cap, which is a frequent driver of unexpected true-up amounts.
Pro-Rata Share Error
CAMAudit confirms that the pro-rata share used in the true-up matches your lease definition so you are not being charged for a larger portion of the building than you agreed to.
Gross-Up Violation
The tool checks whether variable expenses have been grossed up beyond what your lease permits, which can artificially inflate the true-up balance.
