"... ثم أن الشقة يوجد بها منقولات ملكي وواضع اليد الفعلي والمالك الحقيقي لها..."

Movables

Explanation:
MOVABLES - Such subjects of property as attend a man's person wherever he goes, in contradistinction to things immovable.
Things movable by their nature are such as may be carried from one place to another, whether they move themselves, as cattle, or cannot be removed without an extraneous power, as inanimate things. Movables are further distinguished into such as are in possession, or which are in the power of the owner, as, a horse in actual use, a piece of furniture in a man's own house; or such as are in the possession of another, and can only be recovered by action, which are therefore said to be in action, as a debt.
