Frequently Asked Questions

Common Area Maintenance refers to the expenses incurred for maintaining shared spaces in multi-tenant properties. This typically includes costs for lobbies, hallways, parking lots, landscaping, security, and other shared facilities that benefit all tenants.

However, the principle is similar – both collect funds from occupants to maintain shared spaces. Propertese handles both commercial CAM and HOA common area maintenance efficiently.
CAM reconciliation is the process of comparing estimated CAM charges collected throughout the year against actual expenses incurred. Propertese simplifies this process with automated CAM reconciliation tools that track estimated charges against actual expenses, making year-end adjustments straightforward.
