Q. Re- removing a mezuza at the end of a tenancy. If it is a large Jewish owned rental building, but the tenants are not necessarily all Jewish (the majority is) or religious, do I take my Mezuzohs with me when I leave and give the keys back to the super? I do not know who the next tenant will be.
A. Horav Shlomo Miller's Shlit'a opinion is that as long as there is a reasonable possibility that the mezuzos may end up in the possession of an individual, Jew or Gentile, who will not respect them or may come to desecrate them, they should be removed.
Some Poskim maintain that it may be preferable to ask a Gentile to remove them.
