Louisiana has no statute requiring a landlord to give advance notice (such as 24 hours) before entering an occupied unit, nor any hours-of-entry limit. The Civil Code instead obligates the lessor under art. 2682 to protect the lessee's 'peaceful possession,' so entry terms are controlled by the lease.
Louisiana imposes no statutory advance-notice requirement before lessor entry; the Civil Code's lease articles (arts. 2668-2729) contain no dedicated entry statute. The lessee's protection comes from La. Civ. Code art. 2682, which binds the lessor 'to protect the lessee's peaceful possession for the duration of the lease,' a public-policy obligation Louisiana courts treat as significant. The Code does not prescribe how much notice the lessor must give, what hours are permissible, or penalties for improper entry, so the written lease governs. A lessor may enter to make the necessary repairs the law requires, and in genuine emergencies such as fire or a burst pipe entry without notice is appropriate. Tenants wanting a notice guarantee should write it into the lease.
No specific statutory penalty for entry without notice. Egregious or repeated intrusions could breach the lessor's peaceful-possession duty under art. 2682 or support a separate trespass or harassment claim outside the lease articles.
