Some say that one has to take down the mezuzah after 30 days<ref>The Menachem Meishiv YD 83 clarifies that it should be put up after 30 days and not on the 30th day itself. We do apply miksat hayom kkulo to say that it can be put up at the beginning of the 31st day even at night. One proof is Nodeh Beyehuda YD 1 and Ginat Veradim YD 6:14 cited in fnt. there. </ref> and put them up again with a bracha.<ref>Agur Bohalecha ch. 30 fnt. 15, Igrot Moshe YD 1:179, Torah Mtzion p. 278</ref> Others say that one doesn't have to take it down to make a bracha upon it.<ref>Igrot Moshe YD 1:179</ref> It is proper to take it down check them and put them back up with a bracha.<ref>Yalkut Yosef YD 285:115. [https://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=14428&st=&pgnum=44 Yad Haketana ch. 2 fnt. 25] learns from the Shach 286:25 that if you take down a mezuzah and put it back up you shouldn't recite a new bracha even if it was originally not put up with a bracha. Rabbi Akiva Eiger on Shach seems to agree and explains that it is like it was never removed since you intended to return it. Chamudei Doniel 286:15 reads the Shach differently; only if it was put up with another door exempting it from a bracha should it be put up again without a bracha, otherwise a bracha could be recited the second time. Agur Bohalecha p. 108 quotes many who agree with the Chamudei Doniel and concludes that you can put it back up with a bracha since the first time it was put up without a bracha. Minchat Yitzchak 10:93 and Yalkut Yosef are concerned for the Yad Haketana.</ref> | ||

Nachalat Tzvi 286 argues that even if one is renting for more than 30 days it doesn't need a mezuzah for the first 30 days. Meishiv Dvar 4:16 agrees. Agur Bohalecha 30:4 also holds that strictly speaking it isn't necessary to put up within 30 days.
