    What are the pre-emption rights for co-owners of a unit?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    If a co-owner offers their share for sale to a non-Owner, the other co-owners hold a pre-emption right to purchase that share. If multiple co-owners wish to exercise this right, each may purchase a portion proportional to their existing share. This right is intended to allow existing owners to consolidate their interest in a unit. However, pre-emption rights do not apply if the share is being transferred to a spouse or close relative up to the fourth degree.
