Re: Waiver of 5 day notice by MrDan (Georgia) on July 28, 2015 @13:35

Under Louisiana Landlord Tenant Law, "a lessee may waive the notice requirements by written waiver contained in the lease, in which case, upon termination of the lessee’s right of occupancy for any reason, the lessor or his agent may immediately institute eviction proceedings in accordance with Chapter 2 of Title XI of the Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure".

The down side of having such a clause;

Scares better qualified tenants away and takes longer to rent out the premises, than going through the eviction process itself.

Acceptance of rent before Judgment of Eviction cancels the process and prevents the lessor from obtaining such a Judgment.

Louisiana case law directs landlords to specify the reason for termination, which often gives the tenant a defense to eviction.

This is also one of the Louisiana Landlord Tenant Statues that legislators will most likely strike from the statues in 2016.

Question on the 5 day waiver, is there any law that states this can not be used on a tax credit property in Louisiana?
