Southbridge Virtual Meeting Mon Feb 1: The Tenant’s Right of First Refusal

View Calendar

A tenant’s right of first refusal means that when a landlord wants to sell a rented property the tenants must first be informed and then given the right to purchase the property before it can be sold to any other party.

A bill from the Massachusetts state legislature enacting this concept into law was vetoed by Governor Baker in mid-January; the issue therefore is moot – at least for now. However, tenant’s rights advocates will probably be working to put this on the agenda for the new legislative session.

That being the case, it will be helpful for all of us to have the concept explained in detail from a legal standpoint, the impact such legislation might have on the small-time landlord, and the ripple effects such a law might have on the affordable housing market and the real estate industry in general.

Attorney Jordana Roubicek Greenman has a deep knowledge of housing court procedures and is well-respected for aggressively advocating for clients' goals. In addition to being a mentor for landlord / tenant law, she is member of both the Real Estate Council for the Mass. Bar Association and the Real Estate Bar Association for whom she is a frequent speaker. Attorney Greenman has been awarded "Rising Star" designation in Super Lawyers magazine, is a columnist for Massachusetts Lawyers Journal and Real Estate Bar Association News, and regularly leads legal seminars for first-time homebuyers and small property owners.
