The correct answer is that a tenant's improvements that are personal to them typically remain with the tenant. This phenomenon occurs because these improvements are considered personal property of the tenant, reflecting the tenant's investment and personal customization of the leased premises.

When a tenant makes improvements specifically tailored to their needs or preferences, such as custom shelving or specialized fixtures, those enhancements are intrinsically linked to the tenant's use of the space. Unlike fixtures that are permanently attached to the property and considered part of the real estate, personal improvements can often be removed when the tenant vacates, provided this does not cause damage to the property.

In most lease agreements, tenants retain ownership of their personal improvements unless explicitly stated otherwise. This underscores the significance of clarifying in lease documents what constitutes an improvement and whether it will remain with the property or can be removed upon termination of the lease.

The other choices do not accurately reflect the nature of personal improvements. Landlords typically own the property and any non-personal improvements made with their consent, while property owners are generally synonymous with landlords in this context. A new tenant would only inherit those improvements made by the previous tenant if the lease terms specified so or if the improvements became fixtures, which is not the case for personal improvements
