Yardi Breeze is the cloud-native, mid-market property management platform from Yardi Systems, designed for smaller commercial portfolios and independent landlords. Its CAM reconciliation statements are leaner than Voyager, presenting expense category totals rather than itemized GL line-item breakdowns. Tenants receive less detail per statement, which limits their ability to verify individual charges without requesting supplemental documentation.

Free CAM audit → Find My OverchargesUnderstanding what each field means on your Yardi Breeze CAM statement is the first step to verifying the charges. Below is a plain-language breakdown of every significant field.
| Field | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Category | A broad expense category such as Cleaning, Landscaping, Insurance, or Utilities. Breeze groups all expenses under a category label rather than showing individual invoices or GL sub-accounts. |
| Category Total | The total annual amount for all expenses within a category. Because this is a rolled-up total, you cannot see which vendors were paid, for what work, or on what dates without requesting the underlying ledger. |
| Your Share % | Your pro-rata percentage of the CAM pool. Breeze calculates this from the denominator configured by your landlord, which is not displayed on the face of the statement. |
| Your Amount | Your allocated portion of each category total. The sum of all Your Amount fields equals your year-end reconciliation balance. |
| Management Fee | Listed as a single dollar amount with no percentage or base amount displayed. The fee percentage and the base on which it was calculated are not shown, making it impossible to verify accuracy from the statement alone. |
| Notes | An optional free-text field. In practice, Breeze landlords rarely populate this field, so unusual charges are shown without explanation. |
These warning signs are specific to how Yardi Breeze structures its CAM output. If you see any of these on your statement, request the supporting documentation before paying the reconciliation balance.
Category totals with no itemized breakdown
A single "Repairs: $22,000" line with no sub-items makes it impossible to determine whether the charge covers routine maintenance or a capital improvement. Any Repairs or R&M category total exceeding your prior-year amount by more than 20% warrants a request for the invoice detail.
Management Fee shown as a dollar amount only
If the Management Fee line shows only a dollar amount and not the percentage or base, you cannot verify whether the fee was calculated correctly. Your lease specifies the permitted percentage and the base (e.g., 5% of controllable CAM). Request a management fee calculation worksheet.
Pro-rata denominator not disclosed
Breeze statements typically show your share percentage but not the denominator used to derive it. If any tenant moved in or out during the year, or if the landlord adjusted the denominator, your share may have changed without explanation. Request the GLA certificate.
No comparison to prior year or budget
Unlike Voyager, Breeze CAM statements do not show budget vs. actual comparisons. Without a baseline, a 30% year-over-year increase in any category is invisible unless you retain prior-year statements for comparison.

Need to extract lease terms before your audit?
A CAM audit is only as accurate as your lease data. lextract.io extracts 126 structured fields from any commercial lease PDF: CAM definitions, pro-rata share, caps, base year, and audit rights. So you have the exact terms your landlord is supposed to follow.
Go to lextract.ioThese overcharges occur frequently in CAM statements generated by Yardi Breeze. Each is tied to a specific feature of how the platform structures its reporting or how landlords configure it.
Management fee charged on gross CAM pool including excluded expenses
Breeze applies the management fee to the total CAM pool by default. If your lease limits the fee to controllable expenses and excludes insurance, taxes, or utilities from the fee base, the default Breeze calculation will overcharge you in proportion to those excluded categories.
Capital improvements bundled into Repairs category
Because Breeze shows only a category total for Repairs, a landlord can include capital expenditures (a new HVAC unit, parking lot reconstruction) in the Repairs line without the tenant being able to detect it from the statement alone. Request invoices for any Repairs category total exceeding $5,000.
Incorrect pro-rata share due to undisclosed denominator change
If the landlord changed the GLA denominator (by adding or removing square footage from the pool) without notifying tenants, your share percentage may have increased illegitimately. Breeze does not show the denominator on the statement, so this error is invisible without requesting the GLA certificate.
Insurance allocation including non-property-related policies
The Insurance category on a Breeze statement can include general liability, umbrella, workers comp, and directors and officers policies. Most leases only permit building-specific property and liability insurance to be included in CAM. Non-property policies in the Insurance total are a common overcharge.
