      The Jusitce of the Peace Courts in Louisiana have jurisidiction up to $5000. 

       

      Evicting a tenant in Louisiana through the Justice of the Peace Court involves a few straightforward steps:

      1. Notice to Vacate: First, the landlord must give the tenant a written notice to vacate, stating the reason for eviction (like non-payment of rent or violation of lease terms). The required notice period can vary, but typically 5 days.
      2. Filing an Eviction Suit: If the tenant does not comply with the notice to vacate, the landlord can file an eviction suit with the Justice of the Peace Court in the parish where the property is located. This involves submitting a petition that outlines the reasons for eviction and paying a filing fee.
      3. Court Hearing: The court will schedule a hearing, usually within 3 to 7 days.  Both the landlord and the tenant will have the opportunity to present their cases. This includes any evidence or arguments why the eviction should or should not proceed.
      4. Judgment and Writ of Possession: If the judge rules in favor of the landlord, the court will issue a judgment of eviction against the tenant. Following this, a Writ of Possession is issued, authorizing the sheriff to remove the tenant and their possessions from the property if they have not vacated voluntarily within the time frame specified by the court (usually 24 hours).
      5. Eviction: If necessary, the Constable  will enforce the eviction, physically removing the tenant and their belongings from the property.

      It's important for landlords to follow the legal process precisely and for tenants to be aware of their rights and obligations under Louisiana law during an eviction proceeding.
