Taking Down Mezuzot

Question

Does the prohibition of removing our mezuzot apply when we are moving from one rented dwelling to another rented dwelling, or can we take them with us? The first house is owned by a non-Jew, but I think a Jew is moving in.

Thank you.

And what about taking mezuzahs that were a gift or have sentimental value?
