Louisiana Interest on deposits
Does a landlord have to pay interest on a security deposit in Louisiana?
No interest requirement. La. R.S. 9:3251-3254 govern residential deposits (return within one month, itemized statement, penalties) and do not require interest; the Civil Code lease title (arts. 2668-2729) is also silent on deposit interest.
