Additionally, S”A Y.D. 291:1 rules that Mezuzot should be checked twice every seven years.</ref> | # Some pious individuals have the minhag of checking their Tefillin and Mezuzot during Elul.<ref>Mateh Efraim 581:10 writes that as part of being introspective during Elul, some pious individuals check their Tefillin and Mezuzot during Elul.
