Operating costs that a lease classifies as being within the landlord's ability to manage or control.
Controllable expenses are operating costs that a lease classifies as being within the landlord's ability to manage or control. They are frequently subject to annual CAM caps, while uncontrollable expenses such as taxes, insurance or utilities may be treated differently.
How REAL handles this in practice: CAM & OpEx recovery audit.
The exact definition is lease-specific. Misclassifying an expense as uncontrollable can allow costs to bypass a negotiated cap.
How REAL helps
REAL classifies expenses according to the lease definition rather than relying solely on landlord accounting categories.
