A Common Area Maintenance audit gives Canadian commercial tenants an independent look at billed CAM and operating expenses, so overcharges and allocation errors are easier to challenge with evidence.
Pair audit findings with ongoing Lease Administration Services when you need day-to-day control, or with CAM Reconciliation when landlord-side true-ups need a cleaner operating rhythm.
We verify expenses line by line through CAM expense verification, checking that billed amounts align with lease terms and supporting documentation.
We test inclusions, exclusions, caps, and gross-ups so lease compliance issues that drive CAM overcharge recovery opportunities are documented clearly.
Clear, actionable reports summarize findings from the commercial lease audit so finance and real estate teams can decide what to dispute and what to monitor next.
When findings support lease expense recovery, we help organize documentation for landlord discussions so Canadian tenants can pursue adjustments with confidence.
Built for Canadian commercial tenants, portfolio occupancy teams, and finance leaders who need independent CAM audit for tenants support across multi-site leases.

A CAM audit for tenants is a detailed review of Common Area Maintenance charges billed by a landlord to verify accuracy and lease compliance. It helps Canadian commercial tenants recover overpayments and prevent recurring billing errors.
Coverage typically includes lease review, CAM expense verification, allocation and gross-up testing, discrepancy identification, reporting, and documentation support for landlord discussions when recovery is needed.
Audits typically begin after contract execution and receipt of required lease and expense documentation. Initial findings are generally delivered within two to three weeks, depending on portfolio size and complexity.
By identifying overcharges, non-compliant pass-throughs, and calculation errors, the audit helps commercial tenants pursue lease expense recovery and reduce avoidable occupancy costs over time.
Typical inputs include leases and amendments, CAM or operating expense reconciliations, invoices or supporting schedules, prior payment history, and landlord correspondence related to contested charges.
We cross-reference lease terms with billed expenses, review allocation methods, validate supporting documentation, and document non-compliant cost categories so findings are clear and actionable.
Canadian commercial tenants on triple-net or shared-cost leases often benefit, including multi-location retail, office, restaurant, and industrial occupiers that want periodic operating expense audit coverage.
Tenant CAM reconciliation compares estimated charges to actual expenses. A CAM recovery audit is an independent review of those reconciliations and supporting costs. For landlord-side true-up support, see CAM Reconciliation.
