Question:-
If a tenant is renting a premises from me and mounts fixtures and fittings on the premises then according to the law of the land, he has to leave the fixtures and fittings when vacating the premises according to my understanding. What is the Shariah ruling in this regard?
Answer:-
The tenant has the right of removing his fixtures and fittings from the premises with the proviso that he does not damage the building. It is incorrect for the landlord to prevent him from removing his fixtures and fittings if it is removable and the building will not be damaged.
