TENANT OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE ACT 

             A local option to:         
                  prevent displacement, 
                  
preserve housing affordability, and
                  level the playing field for tenants and affordable housing purchasers.
An Act to guarantee a tenant’s first right of refusal
​S.880/H.1350

The TOPA Enabling Act would allow cities and towns the local option of providing tenants in multi-family buildings the right to match a third-party offer when their homes are being sold. Tenants can designate their rights to a non-profit or local housing authority, or partner with an affordable housing purchaser.
 
TOPA is revenue neutral, does not regulate sales prices, and explicitly exempts small owners.
