Louisiana has no statute capping rent or requiring dedicated advance notice of a rent increase. Because rent cannot be raised mid-term, a landlord changes rent on a month-to-month lease by terminating the old term under La. Civ. Code art. 2728, which requires 10 calendar days' notice before the month ends.
No Louisiana statute sets a rent ceiling or a separate rent-increase notice period, and Louisiana follows the Civil Code rather than the URLTA. The lessor cannot unilaterally change rent during a fixed term. To raise rent on a month-to-month (reconducted) lease, the lessor must terminate it under La. Civ. Code art. 2728, giving notice 'ten calendar days before the end of that month,' then offer new terms the lessee may accept. Louisiana has no statewide rent control, and state law does not authorize local rent-control ordinances. A rent increase that is retaliatory or discriminatory may violate federal fair-housing law, but the Civil Code prescribes no rent-increase-specific notice or limit.
No specific statutory penalty. Louisiana sets no fine for inadequate rent-increase notice; an increase that is discriminatory or retaliatory may breach federal fair-housing law instead.
