IN Florida right of first refusal only means that if the owner decides to sell the house the holder of the ROFR has the opportunity to make an offer. There is no pre-arranged price involved. This is often confused with the lease with option to buy which requires money up-front from lease holder.

In Florida, the new owner has to honor the lease in place unless it is in a month-to-month status. Otherwise, unless the tenant violates the lease, they must keep tenant as agreed. That being said, do you really want to stay in a place that you will feel unwelcome? Have the new owner buy you out and get a place that you can relax in.
