CAM reconciliation is the most sensitive point in any commercial property relationship. It is where trust is either built or broken.
Tenants expect fairness. Owners expect cost recovery. When CAM reconciliation is done poorly, everyone loses. Disputes arise. Payments are delayed. Renewals disappear.
When CAM reconciliation is done properly, it becomes a quiet strength of the property. Tenants understand their costs. Owners recover expenses confidently. The relationship stays professional.
Why CAM Is the First Thing Sophisticated Tenants Review
Commercial tenants today are educated. They read their leases. They compare CAM statements year over year. They question inconsistencies.
A vague CAM summary is no longer acceptable. Tenants want details. They want clarity. They want to see how costs were calculated and why they increased.
Properties that fail this test struggle with retention.
What Professional CAM Reconciliation Actually Looks Like
Professional CAM reconciliation starts long before year-end. Expenses are categorized monthly. Lease-specific rules are applied correctly. Caps, exclusions, and allocation formulas are respected.
Every dollar is supported by documentation. Snow removal, landscaping, lighting, security, and repairs are all tied back to real invoices.
This level of accuracy protects owners from disputes and audits.
CAM in Triple Net Properties Is the Backbone of the Lease
In triple-net buildings, CAM reconciliation is not a side task. It is the backbone of the entire lease structure.
Tenants build their business budgets around CAM estimates. When reconciliation is late or inaccurate, it disrupts operations.
Green Casa ensures reconciliation is timely, accurate, and easy to understand. This keeps tenants confident and cooperative.

For new construction, CAM budgeting must be realistic from day one. Underestimating costs creates future conflict.
Green Casa plans CAM with long-term sustainability in mind.
