A tenant’s attempt to buy a Sunny Isles Beach condominium unit under rights of first refusal was denied by a Miami-Dade Circuit judge, who ruled in favor of a landlord seeking to sell their property to a third party.

It’s a case that emphasizes the importance of having an airtight contract, so that nothing can be left up to interpretation at court. The resulting judgment saw a small Hollywood firm prevail against Miami’s 30-strong Kluger, Kaplan, Silverman, Katzen & Levine.
