1st edition. If there is an obvious intention to use the furniture in a different profession than the owner of the property. Other indications are whether the object can be separated without causing significant damage,[17][40][41][42] whether it has been fortified for better use of the property[39][43] or the object itself,[17][26][31][44] useful life and function,[5] the function served by its annexation,[31] and whether the cost of renewal would exceed the value of the property. [38] Tenants often install furniture in the buildings they rent or in the property they live in. A company can install devices worth tens of thousands of dollars; A tenant of an apartment can screw a shelf into the wall or install blinds above a window. Who owns the furniture when the tenant`s lease expires? The oldest rule was that any installation determined by the usual tests had to remain at the owner`s home. Today, however, certain types of furniture – known as tenant fixtures that are added to rental properties and become the property of the landlord – remain with the tenant. These can be divided into three categories: (1) commercial facilities – objects placed in the premises to enable the tenant to carry on business in the leased premises; (2) farm facilities – devices installed for carrying on agricultural activities (e.g. shredding plants and silos); (3) Household faucets – items that make a tenant`s privacy more comfortable (carpet, mosquito nets, doors, washing machines, shelves, etc.). A tenant`s right to move does not extend to agricultural establishments under general law.
[45] However, under New South Wales legislation, tenants may remove farm facilities in certain circumstances, subject to the statutory rights of landlords with respect to furniture. [46] The economic logic behind this exemption for commercial establishments assumes that if tenants could not remove it, landlords would be responsible for equipping their tenants with this equipment and materials. Obviously, no clear line can be drawn between what is a device and what is not. In general, courts consider three criteria to determine whether a particular object has become a facility: annexation, adaptation and intent (see Figure 31.2 „Fixation Tests“). The Furnishing Act can also cause many problems with properties held under a lease. The furniture set up by the tenant belongs to the landlord if the tenant is evicted from the property. This is also the case if the installation could have been legally removed by the tenant while the lease was in good condition. For example, a chandelier hung by the tenant can become the property of the owner. Although this example is trivial, there have been cases where heavy equipment installed in a facility was considered furniture even if it was sold as movable property.
It may seem simple that anything associated with the terrain is considered a device, but there are many considerations that must be taken into account when deciding whether something is a device or a thing in motion, and the answer to the question may not always be easy to determine, In addition, the test can also be superficial in some ways. In the absence of an agreement between the parties[4][5], the doctrine of legal protection[6] is used to settle disputes over the ownership of objects. There is a difference between devices that can be removed and those that cannot, since the parties claiming them are in one relationship or another. These categories of persons are considered separately. The luminaires have the characteristics of real estate and personal property. The item must be physically attached to the property or something similar for it to become a permanent item. Annexation on the land occurs when the object is permanently attached to the property by applying gypsum, cement, bolts, screws, nuts or nails. The owner may expressly accept the removal of the furniture by the tenant even after the end of the rental period or the handover of the property.
