About eviction risk in Louisiana
Louisiana spans 498 cities in our dataset, with an average landlord-risk score of 2.1/10. Scores range from 1.6 in the most landlord-neutral jurisdictions to 5.7 in the most tenant-protective. The state's average rent burden (median gross rent ÷ median household income) is 33.2%, which is the single strongest predictor of eviction filings.
Landlords operating anywhere in Louisiana should review state-level statutes on notice periods, just-cause requirements, security deposit limits, and grace periods before initiating any eviction. Local ordinances in tenant-protective cities may impose additional requirements beyond state minimums — use the city grids above to see risk at the specific jurisdiction where you own rentals.
