La. Civ. Code § Art. 2724
Continuity of the reconducted lease
Operative Text
Art. 2724. Continuity of the reconducted lease When reconduction occurs, all provisions of the lease continue for the term provided in Article 2722 or 2723. A reconducted lease is terminated by giving the notice directed in Articles 2727 through 2729.
Under Louisiana Civil Code Art. 2724, when a lease is reconducted—meaning it automatically renews after the original term ends without a new agreement—all of its original terms and conditions carry over into the new period. The length of that renewed period is determined by Articles 2722 or 2723, depending on the type of lease. To end a reconducted lease, the party seeking termination must follow the notice procedures set out in Articles 2727 through 2729.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under Louisiana Civil Code Art. 2724 should be aware that if a tenant remains in possession after a lease expires and reconduction occurs, every clause of the original lease—including rent amount, maintenance obligations, and use restrictions—automatically continues for the renewed term. Compliant operators typically track lease expiration dates carefully so they can decide whether to allow reconduction or issue timely notice under Articles 2727 through 2729 to prevent it. Failing to provide proper notice means the lease continues on its existing terms for the full reconducted period.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Louisiana Civil Code Art. 2724 means that if your lease reconducts, you retain all the rights and protections that were in your original lease agreement for the duration of the new term. You cannot be subjected to new or different terms simply because the lease rolled over without a formal renewal. If you receive a termination notice or believe your landlord has not followed the notice requirements referenced in Art. 2724 and Articles 2727 through 2729, you may consider raising that as a defense or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
