Practice question: Immovable Property

Multiple Choice Hard

Practice question

A tenant installs a structure fixed to the building so that separation would break the materials or deteriorate the object. It argues that tenant ownership alone excludes Article 415(3). The question concerns that physical-attachment category, not machinery by destination. Which is correct?
  1. Article 415(3) focuses on the stated fixed attachment; the owner-of-the-tenement requirement of a different category cannot simply be imported
  2. Every tenant-installed item is movable regardless of attachment
  3. Only machinery can be attached to buildings
  4. Every fixed object is governed exclusively by Article 415(5)
  5. A lease erases all statutory categories
