Emily owns a commercial property and installs a custom-built display shelf for her business. When she sells the property, she removes the display shelf before the sale is completed. The new owner, David, claims that the shelf was a fixture and should have remained with the property. Which of the following factors is most relevant in determining whether the display shelf is considered a fixture?
The shelf enhances the property's value.
The shelf is used regularly in the business operations.
The shelf is permanently attached to the property.
The permanency of the attachment is the most relevant factor in determining whether an item is a fixture. Since the display shelf was permanently attached to the property, it is considered a fixture and should remain with the property upon sale. The other options, while related to the item's use or customization, do not directly address the attachment's permanence.
