Question
Is it permissible to remove an expensive mezuzah from an apartment when leaving if there is no tenant coming after me?
Answer
Hello,
It is forbidden to remove the mezuzah when leaving the apartment. There is a concern of danger.
Unless the apartment remains in a state where there is a concern of disrespect to the remaining mezuzah.
