Ending a Louisiana tenancy
Civil Code arts. 2727–2729 require written notice to end an indeterminate dwelling lease. Article 2728 requires ten calendar days before a month-to-month period ends, five before a week-to-week period ends, or 30 before a period longer than a month ends. La. Civ. Code arts. 2727–2729; La. C.C.P. art. 4701
Identify definite versus indeterminate terms.
Verify the actual period boundary, not just an arbitrary date.
Check renewal, extension and reconduction terms.
A valid indeterminate termination notice also counts as a vacate notice under art. 4701.
