Louisiana has no manufactured-home community tenancy act, so a resident who owns the home and rents the lot beneath it is an ordinary lessee under the Civil Code lease articles, arts. 2668 and following.

Cited to La. Civ. Code arts. 2668 et seq. (Title IX, Lease) and 7 more sources · Verified August 23, 2026

That means no notice before a lot-rent increase, no limit on how much or how often rent may rise, no list of reasons a tenancy may be ended, no closure or community-sale notice and no purchase right for residents. Where the parties agreed on no duration, a lot lease runs from month to month and either side may end it by written notice ten calendar days before the end of the month; a lease with a fixed term ends when the term expires, without notice. Before an eviction the owner must deliver a written notice to vacate allowing at least five days, though a resident may waive that in writing in the lease. Two statutes are written specifically for manufactured-home lots: one requires a lessor with three or more lots for rent to tell the home's lender when the rent falls sixty days behind, on pain of losing part of its claim for back rent, and the other sets out how a low-value, unencumbered home abandoned on a lot may be sold. The general deposit statute, which requires a deposit to be returned within one month of the end of a lease of residential or dwelling premises, does not name a lot.

Each row below is a state rule (with its citation) or an honest "no state rule" with what governs instead — lease terms and the general landlord-tenant law still apply where the park act is silent. This page covers a resident who owns the home and rents the lot; a home rented from the park is an ordinary Louisiana tenancy.

A. Scope — who and what the act covers

Rule Louisiana law Source
State agency with a role in park tenancies No state rule No Louisiana agency has a role in lot tenancies. The Louisiana Manufactured Housing Commission licenses manufacturers, retailers, developers, salespersons, transporters and installers and runs a complaint and dispute-resolution process for construction, warranty and installation matters, none of which reaches lot rent or the tenancy itself. A dispute between a community owner and a resident is a civil matter for the courts, and possession is obtained by summary proceeding. La. R.S. 51:911.26; La. C.C.P. art. 4731 A
Resident may sue under the act No state rule There is no community tenancy act to sue under. A lot resident's claims are ordinary lease claims: where a party fails to perform, the other may obtain dissolution of the lease under the general law of contracts, and the deposit statute carries its own damages remedy for a deposit wrongfully kept. La. Civ. Code art. 2719; La. R.S. 9:3252 A
Minimum park size for the act to apply (lots) No state rule No minimum community size switches any tenancy rule on, because Louisiana has no community tenancy act: a two-lot arrangement and a two-hundred-lot community are governed by the same Civil Code lease rules. The only lot count in Louisiana law belongs to a single narrow statute, which defines the lessor it governs as the owner of unsubdivided immovable property on which three or more lots are available for rent and requires that lessor to notify a home's lender when lot rent falls behind; it is recorded under the secondary thresholds rather than as a coverage floor. La. R.S. 9:3259.1 A(3); La. Civ. Code art. 2668
Other size thresholds that switch rules on
  • 3 lots — A lessor with three or more lots available for rent must notify the home's lender and any other secured party when lot rent is sixty days past due, or lose part of its claim for back rent.
  • 4 lots — A park operator with four or more residential premises is subject to the court's power to postpone an eviction, or adjust the rent obligation, for a resident on active military duty.
Two Louisiana statutes switch on at a lot or premises count, and neither is a tenancy act. The lender-notification statute governs the owner of unsubdivided property on which three or more lots are available for rent for locating a factory-built home: when lot rent is sixty days past due it must notify the home's secured parties, and a lessor that does not do so within thirty days has its privilege for rent limited to ninety days of arrears. The military-duty statute switches on at four. Where a manufactured-home community resident is on active military duty and that service materially affects the ability to pay the agreed rent, the court must, on the resident's motion, either stay the possession proceeding for ninety days or adjust the obligation under the rental agreement, and it may grant the park operator such relief as equity requires. The statute counts residential premises rather than lots and does not apply to a park operator running fewer than four. 		La. R.S. 9:3259.1 A(3), B, C; La. R.S. 29:315 A, C
Park-owned rental homes Ordinary landlord-tenant law applies Renting a home from the community owner and renting the lot beneath a home you own are the same kind of contract in Louisiana. Both are leases under the Civil Code, which classifies a lease as residential when the thing is to be occupied as a dwelling, and the state draws no line between the two because it has no separate community tenancy act. La. Civ. Code art. 2668; La. Civ. Code art. 2671
RVs and park-model homes No state rule Nothing in Louisiana law says whether a recreational vehicle or a park-model home sitting on a rented lot is treated differently from a manufactured home, because no statute sets tenancy rules for either. Every lot lease is an ordinary Civil Code lease whatever stands on it. The one place a line is drawn is in the definition used by the lender-notification statute, which reaches a factory-built home, defined as a manufactured, mobile or modular home. La. R.S. 9:1149.2 (4); La. R.S. 9:3259.1 A(1)
Local rent regulation of park lots No statute addresses local regulation of lot rents No Louisiana statute either preempts or authorizes local regulation of community lot rents. The one express preemption in the state's manufactured-housing law is narrower: the codes adopted by the Manufactured Housing Commission are the only construction and installation standards for manufactured or modular housing in the state and preempt all local standards on construction and installation. A separate provision declares that a lessor's Civil Code lease rights may not be altered, abridged or diminished except by state law, while leaving them subject to the reasonable exercise of the police power. La. R.S. 51:911.41; La. R.S. 9:3258

B. Lot rent, fees and utilities

Rule Louisiana law Source
Notice before a lot-rent increase No state rule No statute requires advance notice before lot rent goes up. Rent is whatever the parties fixed in a sum certain or by a method they agreed, so during a term the rent cannot be changed without the resident's agreement. Where the lease runs from month to month, the practical route is the ordinary termination rule: either party may end it by notice given ten calendar days before the end of the month, after which new terms may be agreed. La. Civ. Code art. 2676; La. Civ. Code art. 2727; La. Civ. Code art. 2728 (2)
How often rent may be raised No state rule No statute limits how often lot rent may be raised. The only brake is the lease itself: rent must be fixed by the parties in a sum certain or through a method they agreed, so it holds for the term they set, and a month-to-month lease can be brought to an end by either side on ten calendar days' notice. La. Civ. Code art. 2676; La. Civ. Code art. 2728 (2)
Statewide limit on lot-rent increases No state rule Louisiana sets no ceiling on lot rent or on the size of an increase. The Civil Code leaves the amount to the parties, requiring only that it be fixed in a sum certain or by a method they agreed, or by a third person they designate; if the agreed method proves unworkable the court may fix the rent or supply a similar method. No general rent-control statute exists in the state, and no local ordinance regulating lot rents is authorized or barred by state law. La. Civ. Code art. 2676; La. Civ. Code art. 2668
How a resident can challenge an increase No state rule There is no mediation, petition or agency route for questioning a lot-rent increase. A resident who will not accept new terms is left with the ordinary contract position: the rent already agreed stands for the term, and a month-to-month lease ends on notice given ten calendar days before the end of the month, which must be in writing because the lot is an immovable. La. Civ. Code art. 2676; La. Civ. Code art. 2728 (2); La. Civ. Code art. 2729
Entrance fee prohibited No state rule No statute bars a community owner from charging a fee to move a home in. What may be charged is a matter of the lease, whose rent and other terms the parties fix between themselves, and the lessee's obligation is to pay in accordance with the agreed terms. La. Civ. Code art. 2676; La. Civ. Code art. 2683 (1)
Exit or removal fee prohibited No state rule No statute bars a fee for moving a home out or for leaving the community. Louisiana law names only one fee in this setting, and it authorizes rather than forbids it: a lessor who sends the required late-rent notice to a home's lender may collect twenty-five dollars from the resident or the mortgagor if the arrears are then paid, and twenty-five dollars from a secured party that afterwards takes possession of the home. La. R.S. 9:3259.1 D, E; La. Civ. Code art. 2676
Undisclosed fees uncollectible No state rule No statute makes an undisclosed charge uncollectible. The protection comes from contract law instead: the rent must be fixed by the parties in a sum certain or by a method they agreed, and the resident's obligation is to pay in accordance with the agreed terms, so a charge the lease does not provide for has no basis. La. Civ. Code art. 2676; La. Civ. Code art. 2683 (1)
Utility billing rules No state rule No statute governs how a community owner bills residents for water, sewer, gas or electricity. What the Civil Code requires is upkeep: during the lease the lessor must make all repairs needed to keep the leased thing in a condition suitable for the purpose it was leased for, apart from those the resident is responsible for. Charges for utilities are otherwise a term of the lease. La. Civ. Code art. 2691; La. Civ. Code art. 2676
Submetering required or regulated No state rule Nothing in Louisiana law requires individual meters on community lots or sets rules for billing from them. Metering is left to the lease and to the arrangements the utility itself makes, and the Civil Code addresses only the lessor's duty to keep the leased thing fit for its purpose. La. Civ. Code art. 2691; La. Civ. Code art. 2676
Lot security deposit rules No state rule No deposit rule is written for community lots. The general statute speaks of a deposit given to secure performance of a lease of residential or dwelling premises, and it does not name a lot or a space, so how far it reaches a bare lot rental is not settled by its own words. Where it applies, the deposit must be returned within one month after the lease ends, the lessor may keep what is reasonably necessary to remedy a default or unreasonable wear, and any amount kept must be explained in an itemized statement sent within that month or within fifteen days after it, the resident having given a forwarding address. Willful failure exposes the lessor to the amount wrongly kept plus the greater of three hundred dollars or twice that amount, with failure to pay within thirty days of a written demand treated as willful, and any waiver of the resident's rights is void. La. R.S. 9:3251 A; La. R.S. 9:3252 A; La. R.S. 9:3254

C. Lease, rules and disclosure

Rule Louisiana law Source
Written lease Not required A lot lease may be made orally or in writing. The Civil Code states that in a single sentence, and there is no manufactured-home community rule that adds a writing requirement. One consequence is worth knowing: a lease of an immovable has effect against other people only once it has been filed for registry, so an unwritten or unrecorded lot lease binds the community owner but may not bind someone who later buys the land. La. Civ. Code art. 2681; La. Civ. Code art. 2681.1 (Acts 2026, No. 240)
Minimum lease term that must be offered No state rule No minimum lease term has to be offered for a community lot. Every lease must be for a term, but the parties may agree on any duration, and where they agree on none the Civil Code supplies one: a lease of an immovable runs from month to month. La. Civ. Code art. 2678; La. Civ. Code art. 2680 (2)
Notice to end a tenancy without cause No state rule No notice period is written for ending a community lot tenancy, so the Civil Code rule for leases generally is what applies: a month-to-month lease ends by written notice given ten calendar days before the end of the month. A lease whose term is measured by a period longer than a month takes thirty calendar days' notice before the end of that period. A lease with a fixed term simply ends when the term expires, without any notice, unless the resident stays on for a week without opposition, which reconducts the lease from month to month. La. Civ. Code art. 2727; La. Civ. Code art. 2728 (1), (2); La. Civ. Code art. 2729; La. Civ. Code art. 2720; La. Civ. Code art. 2721 (2)
Notice before park rules change No state rule No notice period governs a change to community rules, because Louisiana law does not treat community rules as a category at all. Rules bind a resident only as terms of the lease, so changing them needs the resident's agreement or a fresh lease, and a month-to-month lease can be ended for that purpose on ten calendar days' notice. La. Civ. Code art. 2668; La. Civ. Code art. 2728 (2)
Disclosure document None required No disclosure document has to be given to a community lot resident. A lease may be oral, and no statute prescribes contents, a handbook or a summary of rights. The single disclosure duty Louisiana attaches to a manufactured-home lot runs the other way, from the community owner to the home's lender when the lot rent falls sixty days behind. La. Civ. Code art. 2681; La. R.S. 9:3259.1 B
Residents' right to meet and organize No state rule No statute protects residents' meetings, associations or the distribution of information inside a community. What a resident has is the ordinary right of a lessee to the use and enjoyment of the leased lot, to be used as a prudent administrator and in keeping with the purpose it was leased for. La. Civ. Code art. 2668; La. Civ. Code art. 2683 (2)
Owner entry onto the lot or into the home No state rule No statute sets notice, hours or grounds for a community owner coming onto a resident's lot. The Civil Code addresses only repairs: if the leased thing needs a repair that cannot wait until the end of the lease, the lessor may make it even though this causes the resident inconvenience or loss of use, and the resident may then seek a reduction or abatement of rent, or dissolution of the lease, depending on the circumstances. La. Civ. Code art. 2693
Retaliation prohibited No state rule No Louisiana statute makes it unlawful for a community owner to act against a resident who complains or organizes. A lease with an indeterminate term may be ended by either party by notice, with no reason stated and none required, and the Civil Code termination articles that would carry such a limit contain none. La. Civ. Code art. 2727; La. Civ. Code art. 2728; La. C.C.P. art. 4701

D. Termination and eviction

Rule Louisiana law Source
Just cause required to end a tenancy No Louisiana does not require a reason to end a community lot tenancy. A lease with a fixed term ends when the term expires without any notice at all, and a lease with an indeterminate term ends by notice from either party, which for a month-to-month lot lease means ten calendar days before the end of the month. Separately, where a party fails to perform an obligation the other may seek dissolution under the general law of contracts. La. Civ. Code art. 2720; La. Civ. Code art. 2727; La. Civ. Code art. 2719
Grounds for termination No state rule Louisiana lists no grounds for ending a lot tenancy. The Civil Code says only that when a party to the lease fails to perform an obligation under the lease or under the lease title, the other party may obtain dissolution under the rules on conventional obligations, which leaves the question of what counts as a failure to the lease and to the court. La. Civ. Code art. 2719; La. Civ. Code art. 2683
Notice for nonpayment of lot rent No state rule No notice period is set for nonpayment of lot rent as such. What applies is the general eviction rule: once the right of occupancy has ceased, whether by nonpayment or for any other reason, the owner must deliver a written notice to vacate allowing at least five days from the date it is delivered, and the resident may have waived even that by written waiver in the lease. A separate statute deals only with costs, making a resident under an oral lease liable for the lessor's reasonable attorney fees if overdue rent is not paid within twenty days of a written demand. La. C.C.P. art. 4701; La. R.S. 9:3259
Notice for a rule or lease violation No state rule No notice period is set for a lease or rule violation on a community lot. The same general eviction rule applies as for rent: after the right of occupancy has ceased, a written notice to vacate must allow at least five days from delivery unless the resident waived notice in writing in the lease, and the owner may then seek possession by summary rule stating the grounds relied on. La. C.C.P. art. 4701; La. C.C.P. art. 4731 A
Repeat-violation rule No state rule Louisiana has no repeat-violation rule for lot tenancies. Because the state sets no list of grounds and no cure periods, a second or third breach carries no special statutory consequence; the question is simply whether a failure to perform justifies dissolution under the general law of contracts. La. Civ. Code art. 2719
Time to sell or remove the home after termination No state rule No statute gives a resident a period to sell or move the home after the tenancy ends. The Civil Code obligation is to return the leased lot at the end of the lease in the condition it was delivered in, apart from normal wear, and once the notice to vacate has run the owner may have the resident cited summarily to show why possession should not be delivered. La. Civ. Code art. 2683 (3); La. C.C.P. art. 4731 A
Abandoned-home procedure Yes Louisiana has a statutory procedure for a manufactured home abandoned on a rented lot, and it is the one place where state law addresses the lot relationship in detail. It reaches an abandoned factory-built home whose current fair market value is no more than five thousand dollars and which carries no mortgage, lien, privilege or security interest, placed on another's property under a lease, where the resident has said they are leaving or where a reasonable person would conclude from all appearances that they no longer intend to occupy it. The landowner has a privilege on the home and on the movable property left in it, may remove any lock to compile a description including the serial and vehicle identification numbers and put on their own lock, and must give the resident, in person or by certified mail to the last known address, a copy or summary of the lease, an itemized statement of the claim, a description of the property, and a demand for payment not less than fifteen days out. An advertisement of the sale must be published once in a newspaper of general circulation within fourteen days of the notice, the sale may not take place sooner than thirty days after publication, and the landowner must then obtain a court order. The resident may redeem at any time before the sale by paying the claim and reasonable expenses, and any surplus is held as a credit the resident may claim for two years. La. R.S. 9:3259.3 A(1), B, C, D, E
Mediation or dispute-resolution requirement No state rule No mediation or dispute-resolution step is required before a community lot dispute goes to court. Possession is sought by summary proceeding, in which the resident is cited to show cause why possession should not be delivered. The Manufactured Housing Commission's dispute-resolution process exists, but it is aimed at construction, warranty, service and installation complaints rather than lot rent or the tenancy. La. C.C.P. art. 4731 A; La. R.S. 51:911.26

E. Closure and change of use

Rule Louisiana law Source
Notice before closure or change of use No state rule Closing a community or turning the land to another use carries no special notice period in Louisiana. The owner ends the lot leases the ordinary way: a fixed term simply expires, and a month-to-month lease ends on written notice given ten calendar days before the end of the month. La. Civ. Code art. 2720; La. Civ. Code art. 2727; La. Civ. Code art. 2728 (2)
Variants (by trigger or park size) No state rule There are no closure variants, because there is no closure regime to vary. Whatever the reason for closing, the notice a resident receives is the ordinary termination notice under the Civil Code, and the size of the community makes no difference. La. Civ. Code art. 2727; La. Civ. Code art. 2728
Relocation payment required No state rule No relocation payment is required when a community closes. Louisiana has no closure statute and no relocation fund for manufactured-home residents, so what a resident receives on closure is whatever the lease provides. La. Civ. Code art. 2727; La. Civ. Code art. 2668
Relocation amounts No state rule There are no statutory relocation amounts, because no payment is required. Louisiana publishes no annual figure and operates no fund for moving a manufactured home out of a closing community. La. Civ. Code art. 2727
Who pays relocation None required Nobody is made to pay relocation costs when a Louisiana community closes. There is neither a duty on the community owner nor a state fund, and the cost of moving or disposing of the home falls where the lease leaves it. La. Civ. Code art. 2727; La. Civ. Code art. 2683 (3)
Notice to a government body on closure No state rule No state or local body has to be told that a community is closing. Louisiana has no closure notice at all, so there is no filing, no registry and no agency that tracks a community going out of use. La. Civ. Code art. 2727; La. R.S. 51:911.26

F. Sale of the park

Rule Louisiana law Source
Residents must be told the park is for sale No state rule Residents do not have to be told that the community is being sold, before or after the sale. What the Civil Code supplies instead is a set of rules about what the sale does to the lease: a transfer by the lessor does not terminate the lease, but the buyer is not subrogated to the seller's rights and is not personally bound by the seller's obligations unless the buyer assumes them, and a lease of an immovable has effect against other people only from the time it is filed for registry. La. Civ. Code art. 2711; La. Civ. Code art. 2712; La. Civ. Code art. 2681.1 (Acts 2026, No. 240)
What triggers the notice No state rule Nothing triggers a notice to residents, because no sale notice is required. Listing, marketing, accepting an offer and closing all pass without any duty toward the people renting the lots. La. Civ. Code art. 2711; La. Civ. Code art. 2712
Residents' purchase right None required Residents have no statutory right to buy the community. Louisiana gives them no right of first refusal, no opportunity to negotiate and no notice of a sale, so an offer to buy is a matter between the owner and the buyer. La. Civ. Code art. 2711; La. Civ. Code art. 2712
Time for residents to respond No state rule No response window exists, because residents receive no sale notice and hold no purchase right. Nothing in Louisiana law sets a period for residents to organize or to make an offer for the land. La. Civ. Code art. 2711
Resident-association threshold No state rule There is no residents' association threshold in Louisiana law. No statute recognizes a community residents' organization or gives one a role in a sale, a rent increase or a closure. La. Civ. Code art. 2711
Transfers exempt from the sale rules No state rule No transfers are exempt from sale rules, because there are no sale rules to be exempt from. Every kind of transfer, whether a sale, a gift, a foreclosure or a transfer within a family, is treated the same way by the Civil Code. La. Civ. Code art. 2711; La. Civ. Code art. 2712
Residents may assign the right to a nonprofit or municipality No state rule Residents have no right to hand a purchase opportunity to a nonprofit organization or a local government, because they have no purchase right to hand on. Louisiana names no preservation buyer and runs no registry of organizations that might step in when a community is sold. La. Civ. Code art. 2711
Penalty for violating the sale rules No state rule No penalty attaches to a community sale, because no sale duties exist. The one penalty Louisiana does attach to a manufactured-home lot lessor falls elsewhere: a lessor who does not notify the home's lender within thirty days after the rent is sixty days past due has its privilege or right of pledge for rent limited to ninety days of arrears. La. R.S. 9:3259.1 C

G. The resident's home

Rule Louisiana law Source
Right to sell the home in place No state rule No statute protects a resident's ability to sell the home where it stands. Whether the home may stay on the lot for a buyer depends on the lease, since the resident's right to pass on the lease may be prohibited by its terms and the buyer would otherwise have no right to the lot. La. Civ. Code art. 2713; La. Civ. Code art. 2683 (3)
Park may not take a commission on the sale No state rule No statute stops a community owner taking a commission or fee on the sale of a resident's home. Whether one may be charged is a term of the lease, and the Civil Code leaves the rent and the other terms to the parties. La. Civ. Code art. 2676; La. Civ. Code art. 2713
Park may screen the buyer No state rule No statute says whether a community owner may screen the buyer of a resident's home. The Civil Code default is that each party may assign or encumber its rights in the lease and the resident may sublease the lot, but the lease may expressly prohibit those rights, so a community owner is free to make the buyer negotiate a new lease. La. Civ. Code art. 2713; La. Civ. Code art. 2713.1 (Acts 2026, No. 240)
Buyer-approval standard and deadline No state rule No standard and no deadline govern a community owner's decision on a buyer. Louisiana requires no reasonableness, no written criteria and no answer within a set time. The only rule that helps a resident is one of interpretation: in a lease of an immovable, a clause barring the resident from assigning, encumbering or subleasing is read strictly against the lessor, and a bar on one of those is treated as a bar on the others unless a contrary intent is expressed. A person who takes a sublease or an assignment gets no greater rights to the use and enjoyment of the lot than the resident had. La. Civ. Code art. 2713; La. Civ. Code art. 2713.1 (Acts 2026, No. 240)
Home may not be rejected for age, size or style alone No state rule No statute stops a community owner refusing a home because of its age, size or appearance. Louisiana neither bars such a rule nor requires a home to be allowed to remain when it changes hands, so the lease governs. La. Civ. Code art. 2713; La. Civ. Code art. 2668
Park may require repairs before sale No state rule No statute addresses repairs demanded before a home is sold. The Civil Code allocates upkeep of the leased lot, requiring the lessor to make the repairs needed to keep it suitable for its purpose, and says nothing about the condition of the home itself. La. Civ. Code art. 2691; La. Civ. Code art. 2713
Right to post a For Sale sign No state rule No statute protects a for-sale sign on a community lot. Signage is left to the lease and to any local sign ordinance, and the Civil Code speaks only of the resident's use and enjoyment of the lot as a prudent administrator and for the purpose it was leased for. La. Civ. Code art. 2683 (2); La. Civ. Code art. 2668

H. The eight federal lender protections — which ones Louisiana law already requires

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac require eight tenant site lease protections in every manufactured housing community loan they buy. Where state law already requires a protection of every park, a resident has it whether or not the park has agency financing. Louisiana law requires 0 of 8. All 50 states are compared in our research study, including the 2018 federal survey baseline.

ProtectionLouisiana lawBasis
One-year renewable lease term unless there is good cause for non-renewal Not required Neither limb is met. No statute requires a one-year term to be offered, and where the parties agree on no duration a lease of an immovable runs from month to month; no statute limits the reasons for ending or not renewing a lot tenancy. (La. Civ. Code art. 2680; La. Civ. Code art. 2727)
30-day written notice of rent increases Not required No statute requires notice of a lot-rent increase; rent is fixed by the parties' agreement, and a month-to-month lease can instead be ended on ten calendar days' notice before the end of the month. (La. Civ. Code art. 2676; La. Civ. Code art. 2728)
5-day grace period for rent payments and the right to cure defaults on rent payments Not required Neither limb is met. No statute bars a late fee for a set period after the due date, and the five-day written notice to vacate is a step toward eviction rather than a right to cure, and it may be waived in writing in the lease. (La. C.C.P. art. 4701; La. Civ. Code art. 2719)
Right to sell the manufactured home without having to first relocate it out of the community Not required No statute bars requiring a home to be moved out when it is sold; whether the home may stay depends on the lease, since the resident's right to assign or sublease may be expressly prohibited by its terms. (La. Civ. Code art. 2713; La. Civ. Code art. 2683)
Right to sell the manufactured home in place within 30 days after eviction by the community owner Not required No statute gives an evicted resident time to sell the home in place; once the notice to vacate has run the owner may seek possession by summary rule, and the resident must return the lot at the end of the lease. (La. C.C.P. art. 4731; La. Civ. Code art. 2683)
Right to sublease or assign the pad site lease for the unexpired term to the new buyer of the home without unreasonable restraint Not required No statute requires a community to accept the buyer of a home as the new lot resident or to withhold consent only for a good reason; the Civil Code default that a lessee may assign or sublease can be expressly prohibited by the lease, so no community-wide requirement exists. (La. Civ. Code art. 2713; La. Civ. Code art. 2713.1 (Acts 2026, No. 240))
Right to post "For Sale" signs that comply with the community's rules Not required No statute or state regulation protects a for-sale sign on a community lot; signage is left to the lease and to local sign rules. (La. Civ. Code art. 2683)
Right to receive at least 60 days' notice of a planned sale or closure of the community Not required Neither limb is met. Residents receive no notice of a sale of the community and none of a closure; the transfer does not end their leases, but a buyer is not bound by them unless it assumes them or the lease was filed for registry. (La. Civ. Code art. 2711; La. Civ. Code art. 2712; La. Civ. Code art. 2727)
