Audit the CAM reconciliation, and the tenant notice that goes with it

1 · Learn the move · Multi-persona

The annual CAM reconciliation your manager prepares goes out under your name, and every tenant with an audit right will read it looking for overcharges. On a site you are still building out there is a trap a finished center does not have: the manager maintains the whole property, including phase-two acreage and a shared stormwater pond, and the invoices do not sort themselves by what the leases let you recover. Two personas do the work in order. First, the tenant's reconciliation auditor, who reads every line against the lease's CAM article and gives each a verdict with the clause quoted, and recomputes the share and the admin fee from the lease's own definitions. Then the owner, writing the notice that goes with the corrected statement, which states only what the reconciliation supports, promises no refund amount before counsel has seen the findings, and admits nothing. Whether the pond serves only the built phase is a question for your engineer, with the approved stormwater plan, not for either persona.

Two passes. PASS 1, you are the tenant's CAM auditor: every line PERMITTED, NOT PERMITTED or UNKNOWN with the lease clause quoted; recompute the share and admin fee from the lease definitions, math shown. PASS 2, you are the owner: draft the notice that accompanies the statement, stating only what Pass 1 supports, with [CONFIRM] slots, no promised amounts and no admission.
