Why Louisiana Landlords Choose LevelLandlord
Louisiana Landlord Law at a Glance
Louisiana uses a Civil Code framework for leases (not a common-law landlord-tenant act), making it unique among U.S. states. Security deposits are not specifically capped by statute, but landlords must return them within one month after the tenant vacates, along with an itemized written statement of any deductions.
Louisiana landlords may file an eviction (called a "rule for possession" or "rule to show cause") after the lease ends or is violated, with notice typically given per the lease terms. For month-to-month tenancies, a 10-day notice to vacate is generally required. Louisiana courts handle evictions relatively quickly compared to many other states.
Louisiana landlords are obligated to maintain rental premises in good repair and warranted against defects. New Orleans and other municipalities may have additional local housing codes and tenant protections that apply to properties in those jurisdictions.
This is general information only, not legal advice. Louisiana uses a distinct Civil Code legal system, always consult a licensed Louisiana attorney for guidance specific to your situation.
