CAM Charge    

Common Area Maintenance charges. Charges commercial tenants may be responsible for paying to cover the tenants' share of maintaining the common areas of a property they are renting so all the tenants share the expenses to maintain these areas. Many times landlords also include their main insurance policy for the property and other similar expenses built into the CAM charge and passed on to the tenants, sometimes this can also include waste removal if the tenants aren't allowed to each have their own dumpsters but share them in a common area, landscaping, sewer, etc. often also included.
