Louisiana Habitability / warranty of habitability

What is the warranty of habitability in Louisiana?

The lessor must deliver the property in good condition, make all repairs needed to keep it suitable for its purpose, and warrants it is free of vices or defects that prevent its use, including defects arising after delivery not caused by the lessee. In a residential lease, a waiver cannot cover defects that seriously affect health or safety.
