SUMMARY: In New Orleans, a new Healthy Homes Ordinance requires landlords to provide air conditioning that keeps bedrooms at 80°F or lower. If your AC fails and isn't repaired, you can file a complaint on Nola311.org without fear of retaliation. This rule only applies to Orleans Parish. Elsewhere in Louisiana, you can use the “repair and deduct” law by notifying your landlord in writing about needed repairs. If they don't act, you can fix it yourself and deduct the cost from your rent. Do not withhold rent, as it could lead to eviction. Additional resources are available on the breakdown page of the website.

In your Breakdown: in our sweltering Louisiana summers, if it's too hot in the home or apartment you rent, what are your rights?
