Louisiana Rent Increase Notice

A Louisiana landlord has to give tenants written notice before rent goes up. How much notice — and whether there’s a cap — is set by statute. Here’s what Louisiana’s says.

Louisiana rules at a glance

Louisiana rules for a Rent Increase Notice
Notice before an increase10 days. There’s no statutory rent-increase notice; for a month-to-month lease, the practical route is to give the 10-day notice needed to end it and offer new terms.La. Civ. Code art. 2728
Rent capNo Louisiana city or parish has rent control; lessors’ rights under the Civil Code can be changed only by state law.La. R.S. 9:3258

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.
