Louisiana Month-to-Month Lease Agreement

Required Landlord Disclosures (1)

Many locations require landlords to disclose information about the property as required by state law. These disclosures vary according to each state’s landlord-tenant laws and must be provided to tenants before they move into the unit.

In Louisiana, there is only one required disclosure.

1. Lead-based paint: Federal law requires landlords to disclose information about any known lead-based paint or lead-based paint hazards on the property for all units constructed before 1978.

Landlords in Louisiana will receive this disclosure with each Louisiana lease agreement.

Required Notice to Terminate Month-to-Month Agreement

Since a Louisiana month-to-month lease agreement does not establish a firm end date, either party must inform the other in writing when they wish to terminate the agreement.

Required notice for landlord: Landlords must give at least 10 days’ notice to terminate a residential month-to-month rental agreement (La. Civ. Code § 2728).

Required notice for tenant: Tenants in Louisiana must give at least 10 days’ notice to terminate a month-to-month lease (La. Civ. Code § 2728).

Rent Increase Laws

Louisiana does not recognize rent control or rent stabilization rules restricting the amount or frequency of rent increases. Generally, a Louisiana landlord can raise the rent as they see fit at the end of a fixed-term lease.

For month-to-month leases, landlords are allowed to raise the rent any amount they’d like, but must provide the tenant with at least 10 days’ written notice before the rent increase occurs (La. Civ Code Arts. 2728).
