A right of first refusal (ROFR) gives a designated party (often a tenant, neighbor, or business partner) the contractual right to purchase a property before it is sold to a third party. When the owner receives a bona fide offer, the ROFR holder has the right to match the terms within a specified time. ROFRs are common in Oregon land purchase agreements and commercial leases.
