My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: California
Ok, so we got swerved in alease. The commercial building was advertised as at a gross rate and it said the Common Area Maintenance (CAM) charges were included. The agent for the property said it was a gross lease and we believed him. Like idiots.
Turns out that while CAM charges were included there were other sections in the lease that pretty much turned it into a Triple Net lease which meant there were more charges that could be assessed for CAM later on which arrived at the end of the year with an estimate for the next year.
We recently left that facility and saw it advertised AGAIN with CAM charges included. The other tenants were also upset by the swerve. When asked the agency says that the guys who make the leases don't deal with the guys who advertise so tough.
Is there any kind of complaint that can be brought up to keep them from posting misleading advertisements? We have moved but it kind if bothers me that a company (who runs tons of property in the area) can just post whatever to get tenants and then swerve them.
