Does Seattle tenant enjoy the right of first order when rental is for sale?
<p>In Seattle, can I enjoy the "Right of first order" (ROR) to buy, when the property I am renting, is put up for sale?</p>

<p>The closest you will get is the first-in-time ordinance passed by the city, but that was overturned in court. That law required accepting the first qualified applicant for a rental: it did not say anything about sales. If there is a specific provision to that effect in your lease agreement, that would be applicable, but there is no general legal mechanism that forces a seller to accept a particular offer.</p>
