The intention of the parties is the most dominant rule for determining whether an object has become a fixture. This means that if there is a conflict between the intention of the parties and any of the other three rules, the intention of the parties will prevail. This is because the intention of the parties is the most direct and clear indication of whether an object was intended to become part of the real property or remain personal property.
