If your rental is sold, the new buyer does not have to honor your lease unless you have it recorded with the City!
Recording a lease with the City protects a renter by tying their lease contract with the property.
If your home is sold to a new buyer, your lease is recognized by the City and must be honored by the new buyer.
Take a trip to the Land Records Division of the Office of the Clerk of Civil District Court for the Parish of Orleans along with a copy of your lease.
The address is 1340 Poydras St Suite 400.
Hours of operations: Monday-Friday 8:30am-5pm and they accept payments of cash, credit card, check, and money order.
To record your lease with the City you are looking at $150.00 for a 1-5 page lease and $250.00 for 6-25 pages.
