Question

Hello Rabbi, Since I have seen that there is a prohibition against taking mezuzot from a house after leaving it, and I am reluctant to buy mezuzot for a rented apartment and leave them there, I thought of the idea of buying mezuzot and giving them as a gift with the condition of return to my father, so that when I leave the apartment I am renting, I would need to return them to him, and thus I could take them with me. Is this a good solution?

Answer

Hello and blessings,

This solution is not effective, and it will be forbidden for you to remove the mezuzot when you leave.
