Louisiana rent increase rules

10 days rent-increase notice.

Louisiana has no rent control. For month-to-month tenancies, 10 days' notice is generally required to change terms.

What this means for you: Rent can rise by any amount at renewal.

Your next step: Confirm proper notice for a month-to-month change.
