How long must I reside in a residence in order for it to require a Mezuzah? Thanks, Shalom M.
Answer:
One does not affix Mezuzahs to a residence which will be occupied for less than thirty days. So enjoy your vacation, and don't worry about putting up a mezuzah in your hotel room. Also because of this reason, a mezuzah is not affixed to the doorway of a Sukkah unless it is a permanent structure which stands year-long. When moving into a residence that will be occupied for more than 30 days (i.e. renting, leasing, or buying a house etc), the time for putting up the mezuzah will depend on where you live: outside of Israel, one does not affix mezuzahs until day 301. In Israel, the mezuzah is affixed immediately.2
