Hi,
Check your tenancy agreement and your rent book carefully. If you are expected to pay a management charge, the landlord or agent should have included a clause relating to this payment. If there is no reference to additional service charges, you may be able to dispute your liability to pay.

I agree. Ensure that you are liable to pay the management fee and it isn't a ploy by the owner to extract money from the tenant.

Hi Gurpreet,
Each tenant pays their proportional share of a property's total Common Area Management charges, which prorated share is the percentage of the tenant's rented square footage of the total, rentable square footage of the property.

Yes, and you can negotiate CAM charges with the landlord before signing the lease, so the charges vary from lease to lease, and operating costs that can be billed as CAM charges by the landlord vary from tenant to tenant. Generally, landlords want CAM charges defined so broadly that they can pass through a majority of their operating expenses to tenants.
