WRONG!

 

The pizza oven would be an example of a trade fixture, which is the personal property of the tenant.  The tenant has the right to remove the oven at the end of their lease, even though it has been attached.  If the tenant does not remove it at the end of the lease, the oven would become the real property of the landlord, and from that point on it would just be a fixture, not a trade fixture.  When a landlord acquires a trade fixture as real property because the tenant did not remove it at the end of the lease, this is called ACCESSION.
