If the lower part immediately underlies the parts of the same building, possessed or occupied by the competitors claiming the new lease, preference shall be given to the possessor or occupier whose part overlies the lower part to a greater extent; and if such upper parts overlie the lower part to the same extent, the lessor may grant the lease to any one of the competing claimants whom he prefers.
