Lease audits help you gain control over one of your largest and most critical expenses: occupancy costs:

Real estate can be one of a company’s most significant expenses, and commercial leases are one of its key components.  Up to 70% of the cost of a lease can represent the tenant’s obligation to share in building operating costs, taxes and utilities.  Because leases and these charges can be complex, it is common for these bills to be incorrect.

Unfortunately, most leases place the burden on the tenant to identify errors and bring them to the landlord’s attention, and to do so within a limited time period.  Because most tenants don’t have the time or resources to do this, they simply pay their bills as rendered.  This can lead to overpayments that can recur year after year.

For 25 years, KBA Lease Services has been recognized as the signature firm in lease auditing.  We have helped control the real estate costs of hundreds of companies nationwide in virtually every industry.

KBA was originally known as Kislak Lease Services, and was started in 1985.  Marc Betesh, a real estate leasing attorney, created and operated Kislak Lease Services as a division of The Kislak Organization, a New Jersey-based commercial brokerage company.  In 1995, Mr. Betesh acquired 100% of the company from Kislak and renamed it KBA Lease Services.  The majority of KBA’s employees have remained with the company since the acquisition.

KBA consists of an experienced team of accountants, engineers, architects, attorneys and property managers.  We are dedicated to providing our clients with personalized service for every lease and every portfolio we review.
