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.

Choose CAMAudit if

  • ✓You need to find CAM overcharges, not just organize lease data.
  • ✓You want quantified findings and the best recovery economics from a flat-fee audit.

Choose Commercial Lease Auditor if

  • •You expect litigation or need a human expert, CPA signature, or court-ready testimony.
  • •You are comfortable with a slower, more expensive engagement because the dispute is unusually complex.

Overcharge detection

Commercial Lease Auditor can find issues through manual review, but CAMAudit is better for most tenants because it runs 14 tenant-side detection rules in minutes and quantifies each finding by dollar amount.

ROI and fee drag

Commercial Lease Auditor usually costs far more upfront and can still take a cut of the recovery or require a large engagement. CAMAudit wins on ROI because the flat-fee model keeps more of the recovery with the tenant.

Implementation burden

Commercial Lease Auditor requires a traditional engagement, document handoff, and waiting period. CAMAudit is lighter: upload the lease and reconciliation, then review findings in under 15 minutes.

  • ✓No minimum overcharge threshold. All findings reported regardless of size
