Source

LA County CA Superior Court, Case #22STCV19847
Statement applied 13.5% pro-rata share.
$1,800,000 operating expense base × 1.5% discrepancy = $27,000 overcharge.

What happened

AMC's lease at Burbank Town Center fixed its pro-rata share at 12.0% (36,000 SF / 300,000 SF). The 2021 reconciliation applied 13.5%, a 1.5-point discrepancy that, applied to $1,800,000 in operating expenses, produced a $27,000 overcharge. The lease contains no "subject to adjustment" language, making this a fixed-share violation.

Why this matters for your firm

Pro-rata share errors are easy to make and easy to overlook: a transposed digit or outdated RSF figure in a spreadsheet template can persist for years. For high-operating-expense properties, even a small percentage point error creates substantial dollar overcharges.

Recovery of past CAM overcharges depends on your specific lease terms, including any audit rights deadlines or ‘binding and conclusive’ provisions, and on applicable state law.

State statute of limitations periods apply to written contracts and range from 3 to 10 years. Your actual lookback window may be shorter based on your lease.
