Recover What You Are Owed, Support Every Figure
Common area charges create more owner and tenant friction than almost any other part of a commercial lease, and the reason is usually the same. The math was never explained, the backup was never organized, or the reconciliation arrived late enough that nobody trusted it. Recoverable costs left uncollected come straight out of ownership returns, while overbilling invites disputes that damage tenant relationships. Managing retail centers, office buildings, and industrial properties across the Upstate since 2002 has given the Spencer/Hines Property Management, LLC team a straightforward standard: calculate it correctly, allocate it according to the lease, and document it well enough that any tenant can follow the trail.
- Lease-Specific Calculations
- Fair Pro Rata Allocations
- Backup Records for Every Charge

Title
Expense Recovery
Common Area Charges Handled Correctly From the Start
Accuracy at setup prevents most reconciliation problems later, which is why the work begins with the lease language rather than the invoice pile.
CAM Calculation & Setup
Recoverable categories are established from each lease so charges reflect what the agreement actually permits.
Pro Rata Share Allocation
Tenant shares are calculated from occupied and leasable area using the method the lease specifies, not a general assumption.
Monthly Estimate Billing
Monthly estimates are set at realistic levels, which prevents large year-end surprises for tenants and cash flow gaps for owners.
Annual Reconciliation
Actual costs are reconciled against collected estimates and delivered within the timeframe your leases require.
Supporting Documentation
Invoices, contracts and calculation worksheets are compiled so every figure can be traced back to its source.
Cap & Exclusion Review
Caps, exclusions, administrative fees and gross-up provisions are applied exactly as negotiated in each individual lease.
Tenant Dispute Support
Tenant questions and audit requests are answered with organized records and clear explanations of the methodology used.
Owner Reporting
Ownership receives a summary of recoverable costs, collection results and any shortfall worth addressing next year.
Accuracy That Holds Up to Review
Reconciliations Built to Withstand a Tenant Audit
National tenants audit. Local tenants ask questions. Both deserve an answer supported by documentation rather than a recalculated spreadsheet.
Lease-Driven Methodology
Every calculation follows the specific language of the lease it applies to.
Traceable Backup
Charges connect to real invoices and contracts, not summary totals.
Realistic Estimates
Monthly billing set close to actual cost, which limits year-end adjustments.
Delivered On Schedule
Reconciliations completed within lease deadlines to protect recovery rights.

Common Questions
CAM and Operating Expense FAQs
What expenses can normally be recovered through CAM charges?
Recoverable categories are defined by each lease and commonly include landscaping, parking lot maintenance, common area utilities, janitorial, security, snow removal, insurance and property taxes where the lease allows. Capital items, ownership costs and excluded categories are separated out during setup rather than assumed recoverable.
When are annual reconciliations completed and sent to tenants?
Reconciliations follow the deadlines written into your leases, and most are prepared after year-end books are closed and final invoices are received. Statements are issued with the calculation methodology and supporting documentation attached, which reduces follow-up questions considerably.
What happens if a tenant disputes their reconciliation statement?
We respond with the underlying invoices, contracts and worksheets used to build the charge. Most disputes close once the tenant can see the calculation. If an error surfaces on our side, it is corrected promptly and ownership is notified of the adjustment and the reason behind it.
Can you review reconciliations that a previous manager prepared?
Yes, and this is a common request during transitions. Prior year calculations are reviewed against lease language to identify uncollected recoveries, misapplied caps or allocation errors. Findings are reported to ownership with a recommendation on what can reasonably be pursued.
Ready to Get Started?
Stop Leaving Recoverable Costs on the Table
Every year a reconciliation is late, incomplete, or calculated from the wrong occupancy figure, ownership absorbs costs the lease intended tenants to carry. Getting this right takes lease-level attention and organized records, not a formula applied across the whole rent roll. Send Spencer/Hines Property Management, LLC your leases and last reconciliation and we will tell you what we see. From there, a management proposal outlines exactly how your recoverable expenses would be handled going forward.
