Louisiana rules at a glance

Louisiana rules for a Lease Extension Addendum
Month-to-month termination	10 calendar days before the end of the month, in writingLa. Civ. Code arts. 2728–2729
Rent-increase notice	No statute; month-to-month terms can be reset by giving the 10-day termination notice
Rent control	None; lessors’ Civil Code rights can be changed only by state lawLa. R.S. 9:3258
Rent increases	There’s no statutory rent-increase notice. A fixed-term lease can’t be raised mid-term unless it says so; for a month-to-month lease, the practical route is to give the 10-day notice needed to end it (art. 2728) and offer new terms.

Rent, late fees & rent increases

The tenant’s core obligations are to pay rent as agreed, use the property as a prudent administrator for its intended purpose, and return it in the same condition except for normal wear and tear (La. Civ. Code art. 2683).

Late fees — Louisiana has no statutory late-fee cap. A late charge is generally treated as a stipulated-damages clause, which a court may modify only if it is so manifestly unreasonable as to be contrary to public policy (art. 2012). Write the amount and grace period into the lease.
Rent increases — There’s no statutory rent-increase notice. A fixed-term lease can’t be raised mid-term unless it says so; for a month-to-month lease, the practical route is to give the 10-day notice needed to end it (art. 2728) and offer new terms.
Rent control — No Louisiana city or parish has rent control. La. R.S. 9:3258 provides that lessors’ rights under the Civil Code’s lease title can’t be altered, abridged, or diminished except by state law.
