Landlord Property Dispute Resolution
Summary
In Louisiana, landlords can consider property left behind as abandoned, but having a receipt might support your claim. If the landlord refuses to return your items, consider filing a claim in small claims court, which handles disputes up to $5,000. Gather all evidence, including receipts and communications with the landlord. You can represent yourself in court, known as pro se, and prepare a Statement of Facts affidavit to strengthen your case. The statute of limitations for personal property disputes in Louisiana is generally 10 years. File your case in the parish where the dispute occurred or where the landlord resides.Full Conversation
