Louisiana Rent Increase Rules: Caps, Notice Periods & Limits (2026)

How much a landlord can raise rent, and what notice they must give

At a glance

Who this covers — and who it does not

This page covers rent increases in Louisiana for a residential tenancy — whether there is a cap, and what notice a landlord must give.

It does not cover commercial leases, subsidised housing (which follows federal rules), or any city whose local ordinance differs from the state rule.

Sources and how to verify them

Every figure on this page comes from the official text or a state court opinion, not from a summary. The table below lists each provision used and the date it was last checked.

Where the official text and a secondary summary disagree, this page follows the official text and says so. Where a provision admits of more than one reading, that is flagged rather than smoothed over.
