Tenants in Single Net Lease (N) structures face specific overcharge risks tied to how expenses are allocated and billed. CamAudit runs 12 forensic detection rules on your reconciliation statement to identify every recoverable dollar.
The most landlord-favorable of the "gross" structures and the least common net lease variant. The tenant pays base rent plus their pro-rata share of property taxes only. The landlord retains responsibility for building insurance, all maintenance, CAM expenses, and structural costs.
Tenant pays: base rent and property taxes (pro-rata share only). Landlord pays: building insurance, all CAM expenses, structural maintenance, roof, parking, landscaping, utilities, and all other operating costs.
No CAM reconciliation. Tenant receives a property tax pass-through billed as their fractional share of the municipal tax bill. Typically billed monthly as an estimated amount and trued-up annually when the actual tax bill is received.
Landlords pass through landlord-generated late payment penalties from the taxing authority, or include special municipal assessments (road improvements, sidewalk districts) that go beyond standard ad valorem taxes. Some landlords also attempt to classify certain operating costs as "tax equivalents" to shift maintenance responsibility.
Obtain and verify the actual municipal property tax bill. Confirm no late penalties are included. Review whether any "special assessments" are included and whether your lease explicitly allows or excludes them. Verify the pro-rata denominator.
