Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA commercial lease, validly renewed for nine years, was subject to a statutory right of preemption by the tenant upon the landlord's decision to sell the property to a third party, even though the landlord claimed the sale was related to a restructuring of their own personal assets; the court ruled that the statutory right of preemption is absolute and independent of the landlord's personal motivations for selling, meaning the tenant's right to purchase the leased premises was properly exercised, thus necessitating the partial cassation of the lower court's decision which had upheld the landlord's refusal to sell.
