Lease Abstraction for CamAudit

By Angel Campa, Founder · Updated March 2026

About CamAudit

CamAudit is a forensic CAM audit platform for commercial tenants. Tenants upload their lease and the landlord's annual CAM reconciliation statement; CamAudit applies 14 deterministic detection rules — covering management fee overcharges, pro-rata calculation errors, gross-up violations, CAM cap breaches, and more — and outputs a forensic audit report with a dispute letter draft.

How Lextract Helps

Lextract and CamAudit are designed to work in sequence. Lextract extracts the 126 structured fields from your lease PDF — including CAM definitions, pro-rata share formula, management fee cap, gross-up provisions, CAM cap percentage, base year, and audit rights language — providing the contractual baseline CamAudit needs to verify the landlord's reconciliation math. After abstracting your lease with Lextract, export your results and upload them to CamAudit.io alongside the annual reconciliation statement to run the full 14-rule forensic audit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Lextract connect to CamAudit?

Lextract and CamAudit work in sequence: Lextract extracts the lease terms your audit depends on, and CamAudit uses those terms to verify the landlord's annual reconciliation math. The two products share the same lease data model, so fields extracted by Lextract map directly to the inputs CamAudit needs to run its 14 detection rules.

Can I use CamAudit without Lextract?

Yes. CamAudit accepts the original lease PDF directly and extracts the necessary fields for audit purposes. Lextract adds value by providing a complete 126-field structured abstract with confidence scoring — useful if you also need lease data for other purposes like Yardi import, ASC 842 compliance, or portfolio management.
