tenant's fixtures

tenant's fixtures
Fixtures are part of the land and belong to the landlord at the end of the term of a lease. A tenant has the right to remove certain types of fixtures and, although these are commonly referred to as "tenant's fixtures", they still belong to the landlord until the tenant exercises its right to remove the fixture and severs it.
Tenant's fixtures comprise chattels attached to the land by the tenant (or a predecessor in title under the tenancy) for the purposes of its trade or business and which are capable of physical removal without causing substantial damage to the land and without the chattel losing its essential utility as a result of the removal. They may be removed by the tenant during the term but not after it has come to an end.
Ornamental and domestic fixtures and agricultural fixtures are also "tenant's fixtures", but rights of removal are more restricted.
Tenant's fixtures pass with the land demised in a lease on an assignment of the lease.
