A Louisiana sublease agreement allows current tenants to rent out(or “sublet”) all or part of the property to a new tenant (or “subtenant”). However, the original tenant is responsible if the subtenant fails to pay rent or damages the property.
If the original lease states that no subletting is permitted, this decision is generally final unless the landlord provides written permission expressing this rule change. The landlord may evict the tenant or subtenant for violating the original lease agreement, even if the violated provision is not contained in the sublease agreement.
