California Court of Appeal


Smyth v. Berman, 286609

Affirmed the dismissal of a tenant's lawsuit. Although the lease agreement gave him a right of first refusal to purchase the building, the right expired once he became a holdover month-to-month tenant. Thus, the landlord could go ahead and sell the building to someone else. The issue was one of first impression, the appellate court said.
