Question

Customarily, tenant improvements become the property of the landlord in the absence of an express agreement to the contrary. What is the exception?

Answer 1

Trade fixtures

Step-by-step explanation:

Trade fixtures are pieces of equipment or furniture that a tenant attaches to a property during the rental period, and that can be removed once the rent agreement expires. These trade fixtures are property of the tenant, not of the landlord.

Some examples of trade fixtures are:

• Signs
• HVAC units
• Display counters
• Attachable (and removable) furniture in general.
