CAM cap

A limit on how much certain common area maintenance expenses can increase over time.

A CAM cap limits how much certain common area maintenance expenses can increase over time. Caps can be structured in different ways, including cumulative, non-cumulative, compounded or non-compounded caps.

How REAL handles this in practice: CAM & OpEx recovery audit.

Why it matters

A small difference in cap methodology can materially change the amount a tenant owes. Teams should verify:

  • Which expenses are capped.
  • The annual cap percentage.
  • Whether the cap is cumulative.
  • Whether increases compound.
  • The correct prior-year baseline.
  • Any excluded or uncontrollable expenses.

How REAL helps

REAL applies the exact cap methodology contained in the lease and compares it with the landlord's calculation.
