Stays of 30 consecutive days or longer fall outside the city's STR ordinance and are governed instead by Louisiana Civil Code lease provisions, allowing extended home sharing without an STR permit.
New Orleans defines a short-term rental as occupancy under 30 consecutive days for compensation. Bookings of 30 days or more convert legally to a residential lease under Louisiana Civil Code Articles 2668 through 2729 (the predial lease title) and are not regulated by Chapter 26 Article IX. Hosts of 30-plus-day stays do not file STR permits and do not collect city occupancy tax, but they assume full landlord obligations including habitability, security deposit return rules, and Civil-Code-based notice periods for termination.
Marketing a stay as 30 days while delivering shorter occupancy reclassifies the rental as an unpermitted STR, triggering full Chapter 26 Article IX penalties and tax back-assessment.
