Question 1

What is the statute of limitations for CAM disputes in Atlanta?

Accepted Answer

Georgia has a 6-year statute of limitations for written contracts (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-24). If your lease bears a corporate seal (L.S.), Georgia's 20-year SOL for sealed contracts (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-23) may apply, dramatically extending the recovery window.

Question 2

What CAM overcharges are most common in Atlanta commercial leases?

Accepted Answer

Atlanta commercial leases most frequently produce parking deck maintenance and allocation errors, management fee overcharges, property tax errors (Fulton and DeKalb County assessments vary significantly), and multi-building CAM pool disputes in Perimeter and Cumberland campus properties.

Question 3

How do Georgia's sealed contract rules affect Atlanta tenant recovery?

Accepted Answer

Georgia's 20-year statute of limitations for sealed contracts (leases with "Seal" or "(L.S.)" next to signatures) can significantly expand the recovery window for Atlanta tenants. Check your lease's signature block before assuming only a 6-year window applies.

Question 4

Which Atlanta submarkets have the highest CAM dispute rates?

Accepted Answer

Perimeter Center and Cumberland suburban campus properties see the highest CAM dispute rates, particularly for multi-building allocation and parking structure costs. Buckhead high-rise office leases produce the highest per-SF disputes due to complex amenity and service allocations.
