The Louisiana Application for Rule for Possession of Premises (LAPP) is a form used by landlords to evict tenants in order to regain possession of their rental property. The form is required to be filed with the Clerk of Court in the parish where the property is located. It is used to initiate a forcible entry and detained (FED) action, which is the legal process that allows landlords to recover their property from tenants who have unlawfully occupied the premises or have failed to pay rent. The LAPP must be accompanied by a summons and complaint, as well as a copy of the lease agreement if applicable. There are two types of LAPP: the Regular LAPP and the Summary LAPP. The Regular LAPP is used when the tenant has been in the property for more than six months, and the Summary LAPP is used when the tenant has been in the property for less than six months. Both forms must be completed and filed with the court in order to begin the eviction process.
