Fixtures are items that are permanently attached to a property, and are generally included in the sale or lease of the property. In this case, the washer and dryer can be easily removed without causing any damage to the building, so they are not considered fixtures. However, the furnace requires new duct work throughout the building and removal would damage the building, so it would be considered a fixture.
