11:17 A bathhouse, tannery, and mikveh are exempt because they are not
for proper (normal) residence. However, a cattle barn or chicken coop, 1
a storage room for hay or for wood, a wine cellar or place where other
beverages are stored if it is of the minimum size of a house, does
require. Some (authorities in these cases) exempt them. 2
1) At present, many do not fix mezuzot to chicken coops and barns because of the waste found there. Each situation should be considered individually (Misgeret Hashulchan 12). 2) The Misgeret Hashulchan (13) rules in favor of the opinion which requires a mezuza and states that the matter is so clear that a blessing may be recited when the mezuza is fixed. |
בית המרחץ בורסקי ובית הטבילה פטורין מפני שאינן לדירת כבוד אבל רפת בקר וחדר שמגדלין בו עופות ובית התבן והעצים ואוצרות של יין או של שאר משקין אם יש להם שיעור בית חייבין ויש פוטרין |

11:18 In a place where children stay or occasionally wash there or urinate there the mezuza should be covered. Only when these take place only occasionally a cover is sufficient. However, if it is permanently used for a disrespectful function e.g. (a bathroom where) a receptacle is placed there to collect waste, one should not rely on the cover. 1 1) And should refrain from putting up a mezuza. |
במקום שתינוקות מצויין או שלפעמים רוחצין שם או שמשתינים שם יכסה את המזוזה ודוקא בהזדמנות דרך עראי סומכין על הכיסוי אבל לקבוע שם תשמיש בזיון כגון להעמיד שם כלי לשופכין אין לסמוך על הכיסוי |

11:19 A room or courtyard that is also lived in by (a Jew and) a non-jew,
is exempt. 1
1) However, a room that belongs solely to a Jew requires a mezuza, even though he has rented the whole house together with a non-jew. Nevertheless, if the doorway is located on the wall which is owned jointly with the non-jew, no mezuza is required (Misgeret Hashulchan 15). |
