What term describes an item that typically remains with a house but can be removed if requested?

The term that best describes an item that typically remains with a house but can be removed if requested is "fixture." Fixtures are items that were once considered personal property but are attached to real estate, thus becoming part of the real property. However, they may be negotiated and removed depending on the agreements made between the buyer and seller during a real estate transaction.

Chattel refers to personal property that is movable and not attached to real estate. While it can be removed without a significant change to the property, it does not apply to items that are typically left with the house.

Real property encompasses the land and anything permanently attached to it, again highlighting items that remain with the house.

Personal property refers to all items that a person owns that are not classified as real property, which also does not capture the specific context of items that are generally attached but can be removed upon request.

Thus, "fixture" is the term that accurately reflects the nature of these items within real estate transactions.
