Louisiana rental agreements are for commercial and residential property owners and managers seeking to negotiate and create a binding legal contract with a tenant. Depending on the type of relationship, the lessor may choose from agreements that allow for the standard use of a one (1) year term or allow occupancy for a tenant at will. Sublease agreements are also available for tenants who wish to rent all or part of their rental space to another individual.
