Tenants Right to Sublet
- Tenants need their Landlords written consent to sublet unless it is written in the lease agreement otherwise, Louisiana prohibits it. [1]
Short-Term Lodgings Tax Rules
- Short-term rentals are taxed like hotels. At the state level, there is a 4.45% sales tax on hotels. [2] [3]
- Local taxes may also apply. For example, hotels in Orleans and Jefferson Parishes must collect additional taxes, like the Louisiana Stadium and Exhibition District tax. [4]
- Hotels must report state sales tax using the Statewide Hotel/Motel Sales Tax Return. [5]
