English term or phrase: chattel
Definition from Ameraco:
An item of personal property which is not affixed to the land or building (as opposed to a fixture, an item which is a part of the land or building). Chattels are generally not included in the sale of property unless specifically included in the Agreement of Purchase and Sale.

Example sentence(s):
  • When you rent your property out, the occupant also rents your chattel or personal property in the house which loses value because of the wear and tear from the tenants use. chattelservice.com
  • Although the average life span for depreciating chattel is 5 years, there is some personal property that has a longer life span. So, if you keep your rental property for 5 years, you would be able to depreciate the chattel off your taxes every year for 5 years. Spectrum Chattel Service
  • You might be surprised knowing the value of your chattel. While an individual piece of movable property may not be that valuable, it is quite easy to pack a home taking a substantial amount of belongings. fairloanrate.com

Definition from Lembaga Kemajuan Perindustrian Malaysia:
There is no direct translation for the term. However, judging from the context of realty vs. chattel, thus performed a search using the word "harta" (property).

Based on the understanding of chattel = movable property, thus it is safe to translate that

chattel = movable property = harta bergerak

The above term is further confirmed on several Malaysian government sites including Malaysian Industrial Development Authority and Johor Darul Ta'zim State Government websites.

Example sentence(s):
  • Sekiranya terdapat harta bergerak seperti kenderaan, waris mengemukakan Perintah kepada pihak yang berkuasa untuk menukar nama pemilikan kepada waris yang ditetapkan dalam Perintah. - Johor Darul Ta'zim State Government  
  • Sewa pemajakan dibayar kepada orang perseorangan bukan pemastautin bagi pendapatan berpunca daripada penggunaan harta bergerak oleh sebuah syarikat luar pesisir yang dilesenkan untuk menjalankan perniagaan pemajakan di Labuan. - M'sian Industrial Development Authority  
  • Mendapatkan harta bergerak atau tidak bergerak dan hak atau keistimewaan yang difikirkan perlu atau sesuai untuk persatuan dan untuk membaiki, memaju, mengusaha, memajak gadai atau mengurus semua atau sebahagian daripada harta persatuan. - Perkis Hasil Dalam Negeri
