A fixed-term Louisiana lease ends automatically at its term with no notice. For an indeterminate (month-to-month) lease, La. Civ. Code art. 2728 requires 10 calendar days' notice for monthly terms, 30 days for terms longer than a month, and 5 days for weekly terms. Federal SCRA lets servicemembers end a lease on qualifying orders.
Under La. Civ. Code art. 2727, a fixed-term lease terminates automatically at the end of its term, so no notice is required. For a lease with an indeterminate term, La. Civ. Code art. 2728 sets the timing: thirty calendar days for a term 'longer than a month'; 'in a month-to-month lease, ten calendar days before the end of that month'; five calendar days for a weekly term; and any time before expiration for terms shorter than a week. A fixed-term lease broken early exposes the lessee to liability for remaining rent, subject to the lessor's duty to mitigate. Active-duty servicemembers may terminate under the federal Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, 50 U.S.C. 3955, on deployment or PCS orders with written notice and a copy of the orders.
No specific statutory penalty for the lessor. A lessee who breaks a fixed-term lease early may owe the remaining rent, reduced by the lessor's reasonable re-rental efforts.
