The rules in Louisiana
| Landlord entry notice | No statute No Louisiana statute was found that sets a notice period for landlord entry, so entry is governed by the lease. Related rules: C.C. art. 2682 requires the landlord to protect the tenant's peaceful possession (https://legis.la.gov/Legis/Law.aspx?d=109743), and C.C. art. 2690 bars the landlord from altering the premises during the lease. The AG guide says the tenant must allow necessary repairs that cannot wait until the lease ends. Source: Official source |
