Frequently Asked Questions
What is CAM in commercial real estate?
CAM stands for Common Area Maintenance. Under a triple net (NNN) or modified gross lease, tenants pay a pro-rata share of operating costs incurred by the landlord to maintain shared spaces like hallways, parking lots, security, and elevators.
What is the difference between controllable and uncontrollable CAM?
Controllable expenses are operational costs within landlord management control (janitorial, landscaping, window washing) and are often subject to contractual annual percentage caps (e.g. 5%). Uncontrollable expenses are non-negotiable costs like property taxes and building insurance.
