The Louisiana Eviction Procedure Guidelines outline the process of evicting a tenant from a rental property. This includes the necessary steps to legally terminate a tenancy and remove a tenant from the property. The guidelines detail the process for landlords to follow in order to legally evict a tenant for nonpayment of rent, violation of the lease, or for other reasons. The guidelines are broken into three categories: Landlord/Tenant Notice Requirements, Summary Enactment (Eviction) Procedure, and Eviction Court Process. Under the Landlord/Tenant Notice Requirements, the landlord must provide the tenant with written notice of the violation and the landlord’s intent to terminate the lease. If the tenant does not cure the violation or vacate the property within the notice period, the landlord may proceed with the Summary Enactment (Eviction) Procedure. The Summary Enactment (Eviction) Procedure outlines the steps a landlord must take to evict a tenant, including filing an eviction petition with the court, serving a notice of the hearing to the tenant, and attending the eviction hearing. The court will decide whether the landlord is entitled to possession of the rental property. If the court grants the landlord’s request for eviction, the landlord may then proceed to the Eviction Court Process. This includes obtaining an eviction writ from the court, serving it on the tenant, and having the eviction enforced by a court officer or deputy sheriff. These are the three Louisiana Eviction Procedure Guidelines for landlords to follow.
