Term: Movable Fixture
Definition: A movable fixture is something that can be moved from one place to another. It is similar to a tenant's fixture, which is something that a tenant installs in a rented property. Movable fixtures are also known as movable freehold, movable property, or movable things. A person who makes a motion to court or a deliberative body is called a movant or a moving party.
Definition: A movable fixture is an object that is attached to a property but can be removed without causing damage to the property. It is also known as a tenant's fixture.
Example: A bookshelf that is bolted to the wall is a movable fixture because it can be removed without damaging the wall. However, a built-in bookshelf that is part of the wall is not a movable fixture because it cannot be removed without damaging the wall.
The example illustrates that a movable fixture is an object that is attached to a property but can be removed without causing damage to the property.
