Lessee Unable to Recover Utility Costs Required as Part Of Its Rental Consideration; CBCA 5696, Avalon Plaza LLC

Appeal challenging the agency’s rejection of a claim under a lease agreement is denied, where the contract required the lessee to pay utility costs for the on-site computer room as part of its rental consideration, and where the lessee failed to establish that the government erred by not allowing it to recover those costs under the agreement.
