Louisiana rental agreements allow a tenant and landlord to enter into a binding real estate contract for a residential or commercial property. The standard one (1) year lease is the most common and is written and signed after a review of the tenant’s credit and background. This can be done with a rental application as the tenant’s information and consent are required. Access to the property is granted after all deposits are submitted and the contract is authorized.
