A lease agreement is a legally binding contract between a landlord and a tenant that outlines the terms and conditions for renting a property. It typically includes details such as the rent amount, payment schedule, lease duration, maintenance responsibilities, and rules for using the property. By signing a lease, both parties agree to follow its terms. It is a legally binding contract, and an attorney experienced in lease law should be consulted before any lease is signed, whether you are a landlord or tenant.  

Residential Lease Regulations in Louisiana 

Landlord and Tenant law in Louisiana is generally governed by the Louisiana Civil Code. However, these Codal provisions are generally default provisions in the event of an oral lease or a written lease that doesn’t address a particular Code provision. A carefully drafted lease addresses terms and conditions specific to the property, including the lease terms, rental payments, default provisions, security deposit terms, pets, and other conditions of tenancy.  

Commercial Leases are Less Highly Regulated  

Commercial leases in Louisiana are also governed primarily by the Louisiana Civil Code. However, unlike residential leases, commercial leases are much more complex, covering the payment of property taxes, insurance provisions, renewal options, escalation clauses, maintenance provisions, use, and other transfers of liability under the tenancy. Because commercial leases can be complex and binding for many years, careful drafting and review are essential. Our commercial lease attorneys can help.
