Asked by user in Louisiana. Answered by Enjuris Editors.
In Louisiana, landlords can be held responsible for the activities on their properties if it can be proven that they knew or should have known that those activities were causing damage.
In your case, your landlord has been made aware that a tenant is engaged in activities that are causing damage to the complex and to the health and safety of other tenants. Accordingly, your landlord probably has a legal obligation to evict the tenant. If your landlord fails to do so, you may be able to withhold your rent or break your lease.
With all that being said, landlords in Louisiana are required to provide tenants with notice (5 days, 10 days, or 30 days depending on the terms of the lease) before they can sue the tenant for eviction.
In your situation, its possible your landlord has to wait for the notice period to run before evicting the tenant. Its also possible that your landlord has already sued the tenant and is currently waiting for the court to force the tenant to leave the premises.
If you wish to pursue this matter further, I recommend reaching out to your local legal aid office.
