Question
I understood from the rabbi's answers that in an office, a mezuzah is affixed without a blessing, and there is a dispute whether an office is obligated in a mezuzah at all. In light of this, is it permissible to affix mezuzahs in a rented office on the condition that they will be taken in the future when the lease ends? If it is forbidden, would transferring the mezuzahs to a person not associated with the office help in taking them?
Answer
Peace and blessings
Even mezuzahs affixed in an office should not be removed when leaving.
