In most commercial leases, there are two components of the rent, says James A. Light, a managing member with Business Properties Group LC, a commercial real estate brokerage in Salt Lake City. Check your rent statement against your lease. Be sure you are being billed only for the amount of space you occupy and that any rent increases have been calculated accurately. Then check the expenses against the terms of your lease. He adds that often, the person doing the billing is not the person who actually negotiated the lease, which is one way mistakes happen.
Light recommends using a commercial real estate broker or real estate attorney.
