Question
Rented a new apartment from a contractor, and the landlord provided him with non-kosher mezuzot. He removed them and placed his own, on the condition that he could remove them. Now he has left the apartment and removed them, not knowing it was forbidden. The apartment was without mezuzot for two weeks until the new tenant brought his own and affixed them. Does he need to rectify what he did?
Answer
He needs to atone and learn the laws of mezuzah.
