What Happened: A strip mall tenant made extensive improvements to convert what had been a used clothing store into a grocery store. Over time, relations with the landlord soured. Convinced that he was paying too much for rent and CAM, the tenant decided to vacate and move to a new location when the lease expired. The landlord then moved in to remove the ventilation hood, display cases, checkout counters, interior freezer cases, and other improvements. The tenant cried foul, claiming that these things were its property.
