Mezuzot in a rented apartment

If a Jew rents an apartment from a non-Jew and he leaves, but the next tenant will be a Jew, should he leave the mezuzot in the apartment, even if he did not make such a condition originally, or if there were no mezuzot initially?

There are no hard and fast rules about white shirts. In general, a white shirt is considered to be a modest but respectable garment, and a person should wear clothing that is respectable.


Also, part of the day is spent standing in prayer in front of the Creator, and this certainly warrants respectable attire.


In any case, the main thing is not the external garments, but rather the spiritual ones, namely, a person’s thought, speech, and deed. Physical clothing is only a means to the end, the goal being purity of spiritual garments.
