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.

My lease audit window closes in 30 days

Angel Campa, FounderCAMAudit
Last updated: April 2026

Most commercial leases include an audit rights clause with a strict deadline, typically 12 to 36 months after receiving the reconciliation. Once the window closes, you lose the right to dispute that year charges entirely. With 30 days remaining, you need to move fast. CAMAudit processes your documents in minutes, giving you time to review findings and submit a formal dispute before the deadline.

TL;DR

Missing the deadline means permanently losing the right to recover overcharges for that reconciliation year; acting now preserves your rights even if you need more time to gather documentation.

Who this is for

Tenants who are approaching the end of their lease audit rights window and need to complete a CAM audit and submit a dispute quickly.

Who this is not for

Tenants who have already missed their audit window, or tenants whose lease does not specify an audit rights deadline.

What CAMAudit Checks in This Scenario

Rule 6

CAM Cap Violation

CAMAudit prioritizes the highest-impact rules first, including CAM cap violations that can represent the largest single overcharges on a reconciliation.

Rule 3

Management Fee Overcharge

Management fee overcharges are quick to verify and easy to prove. CAMAudit runs this calculation in seconds as part of the full 14-rule scan.

Rule 4

Pro-Rata Share Error

Pro-rata errors affect every line item. CAMAudit catches these immediately and calculates the total financial impact across all expense categories.

Rule 18

Estimated Payment True-Up Error

The scan verifies the reconciliation of estimated payments against actual charges, catching true-up calculation errors that can represent significant over- or underpayments.

What to Do Next

  1. 1Confirm the exact audit window deadline in your lease by finding the audit rights clause and calculating the date from when you received the reconciliation.
  2. 2Gather your lease, the reconciliation statement for the disputed year, and any prior year statements you have.
  3. 3Upload everything to CAMAudit immediately for the 14-rule scan.
  4. 4Review the findings and use the dispute letter draft feature to generate a formal objection.
  5. 5Submit the dispute letter to your landlord before the deadline, keeping proof of delivery (certified mail, email with read receipt, or hand-delivered with signature).
  6. 6Even if you want more documentation, submit the dispute letter now to preserve your rights, then continue gathering evidence after the filing.
