Louisiana rental application rules to know

•Louisiana has no cap on application fees, but before charging one a landlord must disclose in writing the amount, what will be screened (credit, employment, criminal, eviction), and your right to submit a 200-word statement about disaster-related financial hardship (La. R.S. 9:3258.1). The rule is enforced through consumer complaints to the Attorney General rather than private lawsuits.
•Owner-occupied buildings with 4 or fewer units are exempt from that disclosure rule.
•There is no security deposit cap. Deposits must be returned within one month of the lease ending, with an itemized statement, once you provide a forwarding address.
•If a landlord ignores a written refund demand for 30 days, you can recover the withheld amount plus the greater of $300 or double that amount, and courts may award attorney's fees.
•Protected classes are the federal seven plus military status and natural, protective, or cultural hairstyles (CROWN Act, 2022).
•Louisiana has no source-of-income protection statewide or locally, including New Orleans; landlords may decline vouchers.
•Criminal-history screening is lawful; federal FCRA consent and adverse-action rules apply.

Frequently asked questions

Are rental application fees regulated in Louisiana?

There's no cap, but since 2021 a landlord (except owner-occupants of 4 or fewer units) must give you written notice of the fee amount, what will be screened, and your right to submit a 200-word disaster-hardship statement before charging anything.

When do I get my deposit back in Louisiana?

Within one month of the lease ending, itemized, after you give a forwarding address. If a written demand goes unanswered for 30 days, the landlord owes the withheld amount plus the greater of $300 or double it, and courts may award attorney's fees.

Can Louisiana landlords refuse Section 8 vouchers?

Yes. Louisiana has no source-of-income protection at the state level or in any city, including New Orleans.

What can't a Louisiana landlord consider?

The federal protected classes plus military status and natural, protective, or cultural hairstyles (Louisiana's CROWN Act). Criminal history may be considered, subject to federal FCRA rules and fair-housing disparate-impact limits.

Is there a limit on security deposits in Louisiana?

No cap. The amount is set by the lease, so document the unit's condition at move-in to protect your refund.
