A triple-net lease tenant receives a CAM reconciliation statement at year-end showing that actual CAM costs exceeded the estimated monthly payments by $2,400. What typically happens?

Correct Answer

D) The tenant owes the landlord $2,400 as a year-end adjustment to cover the actual CAM costs

In a triple-net lease, CAM charges are typically estimated monthly and reconciled annually. If actual costs exceed estimates, the tenant owes the difference. If estimates exceed actual costs, the tenant receives a credit.

Answer Options
A
The landlord absorbs the shortfall and the tenant pays nothing extra
B
The excess is added to next year's property taxes instead
C
The tenant's lease is automatically terminated for exceeding the CAM budget
D
The tenant owes the landlord $2,400 as a year-end adjustment to cover the actual CAM costs
