Louisiana Lease Renewal and Rent Increase, Legal Framework

Governing Law

- La. C.C. Arts. 2720, 2724, Fixed-term leases are governed by the terms of the written lease; at expiration the tenancy may convert to month-to-month unless the lease provides otherwise.
- No statewide rent control statute applies in Louisiana. There is no statutory cap on rent increases for private residential housing.

Key Requirements and Best Practices

- There is no cap on the amount of a rent increase.
- For fixed-term leases, the lease controls renewal. Best practice is to send a renewal offer or notice of non-renewal at least 30 days before expiration to allow orderly transition (no statutory minimum).

- Notice must be in writing. Oral notice is not sufficient.
