Before the owner of a tenant-occupied property can sell the building, the owner must first provide the tenant or tenants with the opportunity to purchase that residence. TOPA gives tenants the right to sell or transfer their purchasing rights to other parties. This is often much easier and more financially desirable for the tenants rather than trying to buy the property.<\/p>\n
Owners of multifamily properties are not able to sell their property without demonstrating that all TOPA-related requirements have been met. This has resulted in the development of a predatory cottage industry of tenant activists, lawyers, non-profits, and developers, who aggressively work to buy and sell these TOPA rights. TOPA has done very little to convert a significant number of renters into homeowners. TOPA can however, add significant expense and delay to a transaction.<\/p>\n<\/div>
