Shulchan Aruch HaRav | Borrowing a Mezuzah

Does one fulfill his obligation with a borrowed Mezuzah? Yes.[1] However some Poskim[2] question this matter. [1] Minchas Chinuch 23; Har Tzevi Yore Deah 238; Mikdash Meat 285/4 The reason: As the Torah does not say Lachem by the Mezuzah. [2] Daas Kedoshim 289; See Admur 38/11 and M”A 38/15
