Connecticut full-service-gross leases turn on the base-year expense stop. If the base year was set during a low-occupancy period without proper gross-up, every subsequent year is over-recovered.
Cite Conn. Gen. Stat. § 52-576 and the gross-up provision in your lease. The dispute letter should show the corrected base-year calculation and the cumulative impact across each lease year.
Connecticut courts enforce gross-up obligations strictly when the lease language is clear. If the lease requires gross-up "to a 95% occupancy level" and the landlord did not apply it, the obligation is enforced as written.
