Right of First Refusal Real Estate AddendumThe Almost Option to Buy
I find the question, "Will you give me an option to buy?" is asked for two different reasons, depending on the prospect. The question, "Is the home for sale or in foreclosure?" is asked because we are all hearing horror stories in this economy about people who move into a property and are forced to move out of it again in a short time. Your tenant prospects may worry that you might sell the property out from under them or lose the house. How the First Right of Refusal Helps TenantsYou can assure your tenants that they don't have to worry, by giving them a "First Right of Refusal" addendum with their lease contract. It tells the tenant that they will be given the opportunity to purchase your property first, before making it available to the rest of the market. Having the First Right of Refusal as an actual addendum rather than a clause in the lease brings special attention to it and makes the tenant feel the value of the opportunity and the gesture. Good Intentions and A Vested InterestLet's face it. Most people have good intentions and most tenants intend to buy someday. When you have a tenant who thinks he might own the home someday, you can bet he'll take better care of the property. Some landlords have asked, "Am I obligated to sell to the tenant if I give them the first right of refusal?"
