Syllabus:
Commercial Leases: A Discussion of Operating
Expenses, Real Estate Taxes and Other Costs/Expenses - Real Estate /
Leasing Training Webinar
Benefits:
A small earthquake occurs 5 miles from your
company's office, causing minor structural damage at the office building leased
by your company. When auditing your operating expense statement, you see a
charge in the amount of $30,000 for structural repairs. A hurricane hits in the
area near one of your retail stores in Florida, blowing off the roof of the
shopping center you are located in. You receive a bill two months later for
$75,000.00. You are the owner of a large warehouse. A new law is passed
requiring certain retrofitting. After spending $200,000 on the retrofitting and
including a portion of the cost as part of operating expenses, you receive a
letter from your largest tenant stating that such cost is not a permitted pass
through and that they will not pay you for the charge. All of the above examples
involve the pass through of operating expenses.
This live webinar will help you understand the different ways operating expenses
are calculated, what charges are typically passed through to tenant, and which
charges are limited, mechanisms for controlling the pass through of charges, and
the methods of collecting and auditing such charges. As demonstrated above,
failure to properly understand what expenses are to be passed through to a
tenant and which are the responsibility of the landlord can cause unexpected
expenses or responsibilities that can have dire financial effects.
Learning Objectives:
- You will be able to review pro rata share of
CAM charges.
- You will be able to explain common included
and excluded CAM charges.
- You will be able to identify who pays HVAC
charges.
- You will be able to describe tenant's audit
rights.
