Definition of "Tenant changes"

Changes made by a lessee to property during the term of the lease. In general, if the changes are permanent such as the addition of a building to lease land, the ownership of the building reverts to the lessor at the end of the lease. On the other hand, the lease contract may specify that all tenant fixtures, that is fixtures added to the property by the lessee may be removed when the lease terminates. The lessee, therefore, may remove a machine, for example, that was attached to a leased factory building when the lease term terminates.
