The Lean Rent Playbook: How to Avoid Hidden Occupancy Costs
4
1. CAM/OPEX overcharges
Under the terms of your lease agreement, you're only
responsible for some Common Area Maintenance (or
operating expenses as it is called in office leases) and other
facility-related operating expenses. But that doesn't stop
additional charges f rom sneaking into your monthly invoices.
Whether through deliberate effort or simple oversight,
landlords often overcharge tenants for CAM/OPEX costs.
These are hidden rent costs you don't have to pay—but
enterprises wind up paying them all the time.
Even just preventing an average of a couple hundred dollars
in overcharges per lease can save your business hundreds
of thousands of dollars annually. But if you don't have good
visibility into your CAM clauses and other terms of your lease,
it can be difficult to audit charges as they come up.
Estimated cost: $100,000+ in overcharges
