Would a fence be considered a leasehold improvement?
I'd ask an attorney before I trusted something on Wiki - they'd probably give you a quick answer and wouldn't likely charge for such a simple question. Some non-legal advice: I think that if you're referring to an improvement on land that you're leasing then it likely would be considered an improvement, since it touches the land and will more than likely increase the value. Which unfortunately also likely means that the fence will become the property of the land owner once you leave. *******I would suggest asking an accountant tax related questions, and consult an attorney for legal questions. A fence is a 15 year property. If you vacate the property before the 15 years is up, you would then have a loss of the cost of the fence you have not yet depreciated.

As a general rule, any improvement that you do is considered an "improvement". If you are leasing a property, it would then be considered a leasehold improvement. Now, that question should, and probably would, be best answered by an attorney. I am not an attorney, and therefore can not provide legal advice. I am, however, a licensed flooring contractor in California, so my advice should be, and is intended to be strictly about flooring from a flooring contractor's point of view. I believe the main issue you would have here, from the flooring point of view, is that since it's a fitness club, where rubber flooring is conducive to the fitness environment, and it is an improvement over bare concrete, it would be considered an improvement. Please remember, I am not an attorney, nor do I intend to provide legal advice. The key word in your question is HAVE. Does it HAVE to be considered a leasehold improvement? I don't know. I hope that I haven't disappointed you!
