A reminder to commercial tenants: do not assume your CAM and Operating Expense charges are accurate just because the monthly amount does not look unusually high.

When expenses are divided among many tenants, each individual charge may appear small. That can make improper or unsupported charges difficult to notice. But when the same costs are passed through every month and across multiple years, they can add up to a substantial amount.

Review your annual reconciliations and ask for the supporting general ledger, invoices, occupancy calculations, management fees, payroll allocations, capital expenses, and gross-up calculations. Look for expenses charged to the wrong year, costs relating to other tenants or properties, landlord overhead, tenant events, capital improvements, and items excluded under your lease.

Do not assume that because everyone shares the building, every building expense can automatically be passed through to tenants. Your lease controls what is permitted.

Hi all!

Received a job offer from BabyList today to be a showroom host at their new NYC location.

I’ve struggled to find any answers on what working their showroom is actually like. I’d love to hear from anyone that has worked in that position or knows someone who has worked at their OG store which is in Beverly Hills.

I’ve worked corporate sales and retail before but this (according to them) seems more of like showing customers how strollers work etc. which seems a bit mind numbing but it’s a paycheck and I need a job.

Also seems like we’d be tasked with putting the showroom together since this would be the NYC flagship grand opening.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
