If persons have the status of subjects of small and medium-sized businesses, but have leased private property that was subsequently seized into state ownership, then they cannot claim to be granted the pre-emptive right to purchase such property without bidding in accordance with the law.

The privatization of state and municipal property is carried out by the methods provided for in Article 13 of Law No. 178-FZ, one of which is an auction.
