Louisiana Holdover tenants

What happens if a tenant stays after the lease ends in Louisiana?

If a tenant stays in possession after a fixed term longer than a week ends, with no notice to vacate or other objection, the lease is reconducted after one week. A reconducted lease whose term was a month or longer becomes month-to-month.
