A quick definition of tenant's fixture:
A tenant's fixture is something that a person renting a property attaches to the property, but can later remove. It is usually personal property that is affixed to the leased property for the tenant's use, such as a display counter or a light fixture. However, if the attachment is done to enhance the utility of the property, it may be considered a permanent fixture and cannot be removed.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: A tenant's fixture is personal property that a tenant attaches to leased property, but can be removed by the tenant. It is different from a permanent fixture, which is attached to the property and cannot be removed.
Example: A tenant installs a bookshelf in their rented apartment. The bookshelf is a tenant's fixture because it can be removed by the tenant when they move out. However, if the tenant installs a built-in bookshelf that is attached to the wall, it becomes a permanent fixture and cannot be removed.
Explanation: The example illustrates the difference between a tenant's fixture and a permanent fixture. The bookshelf that can be removed is a tenant's fixture because it is personal property that the tenant has attached to the leased property. The built-in bookshelf that cannot be removed is a permanent fixture because it has become part of the property itself.
