What is to be included, and how it is to be calculated (especially where an allocation between a bill covering more than one tennant), should be part of the CAM agreement. (If on square footage of space vs all square footage in building, or vs only the square footage rented in building, measured from inner walls or outer walls, a fixed percentage, based on receipts, or whatever....absolutely specified).

Taxes, insurance, maintaince (cleaning/repair/parking lot), common area utilities, management fees, advertising and basically all costs of the proerty and advancing the businesses there, that the owner/manager incurs are commonly in the CAM charges.

An advantage of paying taxes through it is, generally, that it then means the individual store is legally allowed to challenge the assemsnt with the tax district. (Which the landlord, having the cost as a pass through, may not otherwise be real concerned about doing...and because of the political advantages of paying more tax, appraisal considerations, etc., may actually be happier having higher).

When should a tenant stop paying rent for delinquent taxes?

The tenant should stop paying rent whenever the governmental agency to whom the taxes are owed threatens to foreclose or repossess the property. In that case, the tenant should demand (in writing) that the landlord pay the delinquent taxes. If the landlord refuses, the tenant should move (again, upon giving written notice to the landlord).


Can you sell your property with option to rent for 1 month after sale?

Yes, although it can quickly become complicated and frustrating because you will become a "landlord" bound by all pertinent regulations necessary for eviction of the tenants, should they choose to overstay the one month. I have worked on projects where the first month (after sale) is at a fixed price, then the rent doubles every week after that, providing a "monetary disincentive" for holdover tenants. You may also have to deal with local laws on written notices, limited access to the property while still in possession of the "renters", health code, security deposits, taxes on short-term rentals, insurance, higher taxes on non-resident owners, and so forth. It may be simpler to delay the closing and take the property vacant.
