Rent Stabilization Policy in Louisiana

The Issue

- There is no standard of tenant treatment and no rent control policy. 
- Landlords are able to request tenants vacate in 5 days if they are late on rent or unable to pay, even though landlords are able to change rent at any time.
- Women and people of color are disproportionately being affected by the lack of support for renters in New Orleans.
- Many are displaced from their homes, which exacerbates the gentrification problem in New Orleans

Rent stabilization in Louisiana would fight against gentrification and ensure that Louisianans are treated fairly by landlords regarding rent increases. 

Rent control promotes neighborhood stability, property value improvements, and income diversity. Louisiana renters deserve more rights.
