Definition of fixture
A fixture is an object that was once movable but has become a permanent part of a property. This means that when the property is sold or transferred, the fixture is also transferred with it. A tenant cannot remove fixtures when their lease ends, but they can remove trade fixtures that they installed for business purposes.
- A brick stove built into the wall of a restaurant is a fixture of that restaurant.
- A ceiling fan installed in a rented apartment is a trade fixture that the tenant can remove when their lease ends.
These examples illustrate how fixtures can be either permanent or temporary. The brick stove is permanently attached to the restaurant and cannot be removed, while the ceiling fan is a trade fixture that the tenant can take with them when they leave.

Simple Definition
A fixture is something that was once movable but is now attached to a building or land and is considered part of that property. For example, a stove built into a restaurant's wall is a fixture. When someone buys or sells a property, the fixtures are included in the sale. A tenant cannot take fixtures with them when they move out, but they can remove trade fixtures that they installed for their business. Whether something is a fixture or not depends on how attached it is to the property and how important it is to the property's purpose.
