FIXTURE(S)2

"Legal Lexicon":
3d. Between devisee and executor. On a devise of real estate, things permanently annexed to the realty at the time of the testator's death, will pass to the devisee. His right to fixtures will be similar, to that of the vendee.
4th. Between landlord and tenant for years. The ancient rule is relaxed and the right of removal of fixtures by the tenant is said to be very extensive. But his right of removal is held to depend rather upon the question whether the estate will be left in the condition in which he took it.
5th. In cases between tenants for life or their executors and the remainder-men or reversioners, the right to sever fixtures seems to be the same as that of the tenant for years. It has been held that the steam engines erected in a colliery, by a tenant for life, should belong to the executor and not go to the remainder-man.
6th. In a case between the landlord and a tenant at will, there seems to be no reason why the same privilege of removing fixtures should not be allowed.
The time for exercising the right of removal of fixtures is a matter of importance. A tenant for years may remove them at any time before he gives up the possession of the premises, although it should be after his term has expired and he is holding over. Tenants for life or at will, having uncertain, interests in the land, may, after the determination of their estates, not occasioned by their own faults, have a reasonable time within which to remove their fixtures. Hence their right to bring an action for them. In case of their death the right passes to their representatives.
