Highlight In Legal Louisiana Landlord Tenant Forms For Free

The North Carolina Office of Administrative Hearings and the Fair Housing Act prohibit landlords from discriminating against potential tenants because of their race, religion, familial status, sex, gender, etc.

You cannot be evicted without notice. The landlord cannot change the locks or shut off your utilities to make you leave. Most of the time, a landlord needs to go to court before evicting you. If you did something dangerous or threatening, the landlord only needs to give you three (3) days to move out.

The landlord may own the property, but that doesn't give him or her carte blanche to come and go in your place at will. All but 13 states have specific statutes and regulations regarding when a landlord can enter the premises, for what purpose, and how much notice they must give you (usually between 24 and 48 hours).

Georgia law says that a landlord cannot make a tenant make or pay for repairs, unless that tenant, his/her family or guests caused the damage.

Landlords cannot refuse to sell, rent, sublease or otherwise make housing available based on a renter's race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status or national origin. Landlords also cannot charge some individuals higher rent or falsely state that housing is not available for discriminatory reasons.

The state doesn't have statewide laws that limit rent increases, so landlords can decide how much to raise the rent. However, in some specific areas or cities in Louisiana, there might be local rules or laws that control how much rent can be increased.
