Unlike the rental rate that is negotiated and spelled out in the lease document, these operating expenses are subject to each property owner\u2019s operating and accounting procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While we do not work for landlords, our vast experience working with them gives us an inside look at how they operate, as well as the action steps needed to challenge charges and recover money. Landlords are purposefully vague in their operating expense statements; they know it isn\u2019t your area of expertise. This is where Hughes Marino steps in. We hold landlords accountable for mistakes as well as unscrupulous behavior, making them comply with lease provisions and industry standards\u2014recuperating past overpayments and revealing unsubstantiated charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a commitment to our clients that goes well beyond the lease signing, Hughes Marino\u2019s lease audit service helps clients navigate through these charges and achieve savings while maintaining good landlord relations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interested in learning more? <a
