Collect the signed terms
Keep each lease and amendment with its location. Identify the provisions that govern shared costs, fees, and notice.
Franchise and multi-location leases
Many locations. Each lease has its own rules.
CAM and NNN charges can look similar across sites while the lease language differs. Build a clear question for each location before treating a charge as a pattern.
One row per location
Store A
Check CAM cap and fee base
Store B
Confirm tenant-share area
Store C
Find statement notice date
Illustrative questions, not findings about a real portfolio.
Build a location record
Compare the same four fields at every site.
A consistent checklist makes differences easier to spot while keeping each location tied to its own signed agreement.
01
CAM definition
What costs are included or excluded?
02
Tenant share
Which area and allocation method apply?
03
Fee limits
Are there caps or defined calculation bases?
04
Review date
When must you request records or give notice?
A repeatable review
Move from site list to specific questions.
Keep the evidence beside the location. That makes it easier to see what is known, what needs records, and which deadline applies.
Pair each annual statement
Match the statement to the right lease year and location. Note estimated payments, actual charges, and credits.
Record questions separately
Flag a fee, capital item, or share calculation for that site without assuming another lease uses the same rule.
Request the missing support
Use the lease's records-access procedure to ask for invoices, ledgers, area schedules, or fee calculations.
Keep the review grounded
Similar labels can have different answers.
An admin fee, capital project, or tax charge needs to be checked against the relevant lease and records. A property-wide invoice is not the same as your tenant share or a recoverable amount.

Common questions
Before you compare locations.
Can I use one CAM rule for every franchise location?
Usually each signed lease and amendment needs its own review. Properties can use different definitions, caps, tenant-share methods, and notice procedures.
Does a repeated charge prove a portfolio-wide error?
No. A similar label across statements can be a useful prompt, but each amount must be checked against its own lease and supporting records.
Can a free lease preview verify an overcharge?
No. A preview can surface terms and questions to investigate. Confirming a billed amount requires the annual statement and, often, underlying records.
When should I review a reconciliation?
Read it promptly and check the notice and records-access periods in that lease. Deadlines vary by agreement.

Begin with one lease.
Start a free preview to see lease terms and initial questions. Add an annual statement and supporting PDFs if you have them, then review what remains to be verified.
