A nonfarm lease presumed to continue requires how long of holdover by the tenant without opposition?

In Louisiana, a nonfarm lease that is presumed to continue due to holdover by the tenant typically requires the tenant to remain in possession for one week without opposition from the landlord. This legal framework is designed to address situations where a tenant remains in the rented premises after the lease term has ended; if the landlord does not oppose this continued occupancy during that time, the lease is generally deemed to continue under the same conditions as before.

This assumption is based on the idea that the landlord's lack of action implies consent to the tenant's continued possession. Therefore, the one-week holdover period is significant as it establishes a clear timeframe for both parties regarding their rights and responsibilities in a lease situation. A landlord's decision to not oppose the tenant's holdover signals a degree of tolerance or acceptance of the tenant’s situation, which is foundational in property law and lease agreements.
