Lease Score Explained — How We Evaluate CAM / NNN Risk
This guide explains how Lease Score evaluates CAM / NNN risk, escalation limits, and audit rights to determine how tenant-favorable your commercial lease really is.
What Is Lease Score?
Lease Score is a tenant-first assessment that evaluates the lease provisions most likely to affect your total occupancy cost — not just rent, but how CAM and NNN expenses are defined, limited, and enforced.
It reflects how commercial leases are typically interpreted during audits and disputes, based on real-world reconciliation outcomes.
Low Risk Lease
Strong tenant protections with defined CAM limits, excluded capital expenses, and enforceable audit rights. These leases typically limit unexpected cost increases.
Medium Risk Lease
Some tenant protections exist, but key terms are ambiguous or partially uncapped. These leases often require proactive monitoring to prevent overcharges.
High Risk Lease
Limited tenant protections with broadly defined or uncapped CAM / NNN charges. These leases are most likely to produce recoverable overcharges if audited promptly.
Why Lease Score Matters
Most CAM / NNN disputes are governed by strict audit windows — typically 30–120 days after reconciliation. Lease Score helps tenants quickly understand their exposure so they can act before recovery rights expire.
A higher-risk score doesn’t mean a lease is “bad” — it means timing, documentation, and audit strategy matter more.
