Join the Opening List →Getting a deposit back in Louisiana depends on a few simple things: meeting the lease, leaving a forwarding address and leaving the home clean. This guide lays out each one, along with the practical parts of moving in this parish.
It is general information only. The Louisiana Attorney General's office is the place to start if you have a real dispute.
Under the Lessee's Deposit Act, a landlord must return a deposit, or send an itemized list of deductions, within one month after the lease ends. That depends on the tenant having met the lease and left a forwarding address. Put your address in writing so there is no dispute about it.
The Attorney General's tenant guide says a landlord may keep a deposit for damage, but that normal wear and tear is not deductible. Faded paint from years of sun is one thing and a cooktop caked in grease is another. A clean home makes the difference obvious at the walkthrough, and that is a large part of what a Moving Clean accomplishes.
About 38 percent of occupied homes in Metairie and about 37 percent in Kenner are rented. St. Tammany Parish is much less of a renter's market, at about 79 percent owner occupied, but the state law is the same on both sides of the lake.
It is built for an empty home, and it is the only service that goes inside the oven, refrigerator and cabinets. These are the spots a landlord checks first. The rest of the visit handles the kitchen and bathrooms, floors and dusting throughout.
Leave the power and water on and the rooms empty. Furniture, bags and leftover household goods are not taken away. Interior windows can be added for an extra charge. If you are moving in rather than out, it is the same service, and most useful before your boxes arrive.
Plan for this ahead of the cleaning. A team needs clear floors, and waste rules vary by address.
Read your lease first, especially any clause about cleaning or carpet. Then give your forwarding address in writing, set out bulky items for the next parish pickup and empty the refrigerator and cabinets. Schedule the Moving Clean for after the movers leave and before the final walkthrough. Take dated photos of every room, including the inside of the oven and refrigerator, and keep your receipt.
If a month goes by after the lease ends with no deposit or list of deductions, write to the landlord. If that does not settle it, the Attorney General's Consumer Protection section takes disputes about unfair or deceptive business practices, online and at 1-800-351-4889.
Landlords in the metro use the same service between tenants. A clean unit and a dated charge make any later deduction easier to explain, as long as it is really for damage rather than normal wear and tear. Sequence paint and repairs first, because their dust undoes a clean. In older buildings, with about 69 percent of Metairie's homes built before 1980, anything flaking should go to a contractor first.
Moving Cleans run $391.00 to $817.00 across the five sizes, priced by the home, not by the hour, with supplies included. An empty one bedroom starts at $391.00, a two bedroom at $493.00 and a three bedroom at $538.00. Compare it with other services on the cost page, or see the deep cleaning guide if you are staying put.
