Notice Period: At least 10 calendar days‘ advance written notice prior to the end of the month for month-to-month tenancies (Art. 2728(2); Art. 2729), though 30 days is standard. For lease terms longer than a month, landlords must provide at least 30 days‘ written notice (Art. 2728(1)).

Proof of Service: Notice must be delivered in writing for residential properties (Art. 2729). Delivery is established by personal in-hand service, mailing, or posting conspicuously on the primary door of the premises if the tenant is absent (CCP Art. 4701; CCP Art. 4703).

Prohibited Acts: Landlords cannot increase rent for discriminatory reasons under the Louisiana Equal Housing Opportunity Act (§ 51:2606) or engage in price gouging during a declared state of emergency (§ 29:732)
