A barber who leases space in a building recently installed two new barber chairs in order to expand the business. If the barber wishes to move to a better location, can she legally take the chairs with her?

This choice incorrectly suggests that all items added to a property become permanent fixtures. However, trade fixtures, by definition, are not considered permanent fixtures but rather personal property that can be removed by the tenant, distinguishing them from typical fixtures that remain with the property.

This option implies that financial compensation is required for the removal of the chairs, which is inaccurate. As trade fixtures, the barber is entitled to remove them without needing to reimburse the landlord, provided she restores the premises after removal.

While it is true that trade fixtures typically remain the tenant's property, this option misrepresents the process. The statement could imply that ownership is conditional upon the tenant's choice to sell, rather than the inherent nature of trade fixtures that allows for their removal without transferring ownership to the landlord.
