Finding overcharges is the beginning of the process, not the end. Once the CAMAudit scan surfaces specific violations, the next step is a formal written dispute to your landlord citing the specific lease provisions and the dollar amounts. Most disputes resolve with a credit on future CAM estimates or a check for the overpayment. The dispute letter draft feature in CAMAudit generates the initial letter automatically.
TL;DR
Overcharges that you find but do not dispute are overcharges you pay again next year; the dispute process is the only way to stop the billing error from repeating.
