Louisiana eviction steps
- Notice for unpaid rent. A written notice to vacate giving at least 5 days from delivery (the lease may waive it, within limits). (La. Code Civ. Proc. art. 4701)
- File in court. If the tenant doesn't pay or move out, file the eviction case in the justice of the peace, city or parish court where the property is located. Ask the clerk for current filing and service fees. (Louisiana Supreme Court)
- Hearing, judgment and removal. After the tenant is served, the court sets a hearing. If the landlord wins, removal happens only through the court's order or writ, carried out by a law enforcement officer. Exact timelines are in the court's self-help materials. (Louisiana Supreme Court)
