The landlord needs a highly expansive CAM definition to avoid the risk that necessary costs of operation have no corresponding revenue to cover them.”
“Sophisticated tenants view the landlord’s ownership, development or capital costs as part of the landlord’s cost of doing business and not a recoverable operation cost of the center.
By contrast, tenants accept that maintenance or operating costs may be recovered through CAM charges. This “maintenance versus ownership” dispute shapes many of the issues relating to inclusion in and exclusion from CAM costs. CAM charges should also correspond directly to benefits gained by the tenant under the lease.
Avoid landlord’s use of CAM charges as a separate profit center, as opposed to the recovery of legitimate maintenance costs.”
In this 15-minute video our speaker, Marc. H. Goldsmith, reviews how landlords and tenants look at CAM charges from different perspectives. This video is a theoretical exercise to understand the client’s perspective and also to help you better advocate for your client’s position.
