Louisiana Month-to-Month Eviction
In Louisiana, terminating a month-to-month lease agreement requires landlords to give tenants a 10-day notice to vacate, excluding weekends and holidays. For evictions due to non-payment of rent or lease violations, landlords must provide a five-day notice for tenants to pay overdue rent or correct the issue, with the same exclusion of weekends and holidays.
The Louisiana Eviction Process details the steps for evicting a tenant.
