Question:
Amira starts her own business selling children's books and offering children's entertainment at a small shop. Amira rents the shop from Llewellyn Real Estate, Inc. (LRE). LRE and Amira sign a standard 1 year lease contract beginning on April 3, 2021 and ending on April 2, 2022. Amira removes all of the old built-in book shelving left by the previous tenant, and she purchases and installs several very expensive, large new built-in shelving for books. She also brings in an expensive moveable children's slide with a small ladder for children to play on. The small slide just sits on the carpet and is moved around the store frequently.
On March 20, 2022, Amira moves out of the building and gave ample notice to LRE that she would no longer be leasing the premises. LRE sends a written letter to Amira giving her permission to enter the shop within 48 hours after the lease expires to remove personal property.
On April 3, 2022, Amira arrives to collect the slide, and brings tools to remove the built-in bookshelves from the shop's walls. That same day, LRE files an action in court to prevent Amira from removing the bookshelves and the children's slide from the shop claiming that they are part of the real property.
What is the likely legal result?
