What is CAM charges?

Short definition
CAM (common area maintenance) charges are the tenant's share of the cost to operate and maintain a building's shared areas, billed on top of base rent in most commercial rental contracts.
DefinedTermCanonical definition · EasyBay glossary

Common area maintenance covers things like parking lots, landscaping, shared lighting, security, and structural upkeep. Under a commercial landlord contract, CAM is usually estimated monthly and then reconciled once a year against actual costs, which can produce a surprise true-up bill.

CAM is one of the 'nets' in triple-net (NNN) rent and a major reason a quoted per-square-foot rate understates the real cost of warehouse space. All-inclusive co-warehousing pricing has no CAM line: maintenance is built into the flat monthly rate, with no annual reconciliation.

EasyBay rents flexible co-warehousing suites on 6- or 12-month terms: see sizes & pricing or book a tour.
