Tenant’s Audit Clause Samples

The Tenant’s Audit clause grants the tenant the right to review and examine the landlord’s records related to operating expenses or other charges passed through to the tenant under the lease. In practice, this means the tenant can request access to invoices, receipts, and accounting records to verify the accuracy of amounts billed, typically within a specified time frame after receiving an annual statement. This clause ensures transparency and accuracy in expense calculations, helping to prevent overcharges and resolve disputes regarding shared costs.
