The court dismissed the tenant's claim to exercise the right of first refusal regarding the sale of an adjacent agricultural plot. The tenant argued for a broader right covering both the residence and the land, while the opposing party contended the properties were legally distinct. The court ruled that the statutory right of first refusal is limited strictly to the dwelling unit when the house and the agricultural land constitute separate buildings.
