Domestic violence early termination in Louisiana

Yes, in buildings with 6 or more units (not owner-occupied buildings of 10 or fewer). A lessee who gives written notice, reasonable documentation (protective order or sworn certification) of domestic abuse, stalking or cyberstalking within the past 30 days, and a written promise not to admit the offender may end the lease on a mutually agreed date within 30 days, owing rent only through that date.
