Percentage rent is triggered when your gross sales exceed a breakpoint defined in your lease. If the breakpoint is calculated incorrectly, you could be paying percentage rent earlier or on more revenue than your lease requires. Errors in breakpoint calculation often trace back to incorrect base rent figures, improper inclusion of certain revenue types, or a natural breakpoint formula that uses the wrong inputs. CAMAudit can verify the math.
TL;DR
An incorrect breakpoint can trigger thousands of dollars in percentage rent that you do not actually owe; verifying the calculation is especially important if your sales are near the breakpoint threshold.
Who this is for
Retail tenants who pay percentage rent in addition to base rent and suspect that the breakpoint calculation or the gross sales definition is being applied incorrectly.
Who this is not for
Tenants who do not have a percentage rent clause in their lease, or tenants whose lease uses a fixed dollar breakpoint that is clearly stated and not calculated from a formula.
