Which fixture would a person correctly assume he can take with him when he moves?

The reasoning behind selecting the attached display cases in a jewelry business as something a person can take when they move relates to the distinction between real property and personal property. Fixtures, which are items that are attached to real estate and generally considered part of the property, typically remain with the property when it is sold or the tenant moves out.

Attached display cases in a jewelry business are specialized fixtures that are specifically designed for that particular business use. Since they are not typically considered a permanent addition to the physical structure in the same way that built-in kitchen cabinets or central air conditioning units would be, a business owner can reasonably take these display cases with them upon relocation to a different business environment.

In contrast, built-in kitchen cabinets and a central air conditioning unit are almost always considered permanent fixtures, as they are typically attached to the structure and are essential to the function of the home. Shutters on windows are usually also considered fixtures because they are affixed to the property and intended to remain. Thus, the ability to remove the jewelry display cases is grounded in their nature as personal property rather than real property fixtures.
