Lease Audit Software for Commercial Tenants
Lease audit software that reads your lease provisions and checks the landlord's reconciliation math. Not ASC 842 compliance. Not lease abstraction. Overcharge detection, with dollar amounts, in under 15 minutes.
Lease Audit Software vs. Lease Accounting Software
Most results for "lease audit software" show lease accounting platforms built for ASC 842 and IFRS 16 compliance. Those tools track lease portfolios, manage payment schedules, and generate financial reports. They do not detect overcharges. CAMAudit is lease audit software built for a different job: reading your specific lease provisions and checking whether the landlord billed you correctly.

| Outputs dollar-specific overcharge findings | Yes | No |
| Generates dispute letter draft | Yes | No |
| Tracks critical dates and payment schedules | No | Yes |
| ASC 842 / IFRS 16 journal entries | No | Yes |
| Pricing | $79 flat per audit | $10,000-$100,000+/yr |
| Time to results | Under 15 minutes | Ongoing (no audit findings) |
| Best for | Tenants checking for overcharges | Corporate accounting teams managing lease portfolios |
What Lease Audit Software Checks
CAMAudit runs 14 detection rules. Each rule is deterministic: it applies the formula from your lease to the figures on your reconciliation statement. No guesswork, no approximations.
- 1
Gross Lease Charge Detection
Flags CAM charges billed under a gross lease where those expenses should be included in base rent.
- 2
Excluded Service Charges
Identifies services your lease explicitly excludes from CAM that appear on the reconciliation anyway.
- 3
Management Fee Overcharge
Compares the billed management fee percentage against the cap your lease specifies and quantifies the overcharge.
- 4
Pro-Rata Share Error
Recalculates your pro-rata share from the GLA denominator your lease defines, including anchor exclusions.
- 5
Gross-Up Violation
Verifies that gross-up is applied only to variable expenses at the occupancy threshold your lease permits.
- 6
CAM Cap Violation
Checks non-cumulative, cumulative, and compounding cap structures against the reconciliation figure.
- 7
Base Year Error
Validates the base year stop and verifies that the escalation calculation starts from the correct baseline.
- 8
Controllable Expense Cap
Flags overcharges on controllable expenses that exceed the separate cap your lease places on them.
- 9
Insurance Overcharge
Classifies each insurance line item and flags premium allocations that exceed what the lease permits.
- 10
Tax Overallocation
Reviews property tax pass-throughs for over-allocation, incorrect denominator use, and excluded categories.
- 11
Utility Overcharge
Identifies utility charges that are sub-metered, improperly allocated, or outside your lease definitions.
- 12
Common Area Misclassification
Flags capital expenditures, structural repairs, and landlord-only costs reclassified as recurring CAM.
- 13
Landlord Overhead Pass-Through
Identifies above-grade salaries, officer compensation, and corporate overhead billed through CAM.
- 14
True-Up Verification
Verifies the arithmetic on the year-end true-up reconciling estimated payments against actual expenses.
