A "fixture" is an object that is permanently attached to a building or structure, making it a part of that property. Common examples of fixtures include light fixtures, sinks, and cabinets. These items are usually installed during construction or renovation and are not meant to be easily removed. In legal terms, fixtures can also refer to items that were once movable but have become part of the property. For instance, if a ceiling fan is installed in a home, it is considered a fixture because it is fixed in place. This distinction is important in real estate transactions, as fixtures typically remain with the property when it is sold.
