I know this seems silly, but I'm curious for an answer and with my moving out of this place I presently don't have the time to scour legal pages for landlord obligations for owning property. I'm renting a house and moving out tomorrow, and I won't be present when the landlord does his final walk-through.

In Louisiana, is there a law about how frequently a landlord *must* change the carpet and paint the walls of the house? I've heard that in some states if a house is rented for say, three years, the landlord must legally replace the carpets before a new tenant moves in and *not* at the cost of the previous tenants deposit. Same with walls, that a landlord must repaint the walls after every new tenant.

I can't validate the legality or truth of these situations, but I'm hoping to get an answer so that if he decides to try to pull a fast one and say that it has to come out of my deposit I can point him to the law and say "no, that's your problem not mine".

What laws do Louisiana landlords have to follow in order to properly maintain their rental properties?

Does the owner of a property he/she leases have to change the carpets and paint the walls at his own expense
