About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the lease bond actually covers

A tenant lease bond is a three-party guarantee: you (the tenant, or principal), the surety carrier, and your landlord (the obligee). Instead of tying up a full cash security deposit, you pay a smaller premium and the surety stands behind your obligations under the lease.

If you leave unpaid rent or cause damage beyond normal wear, the landlord can claim against the bond up to its amount. The surety pays the landlord, then you repay the surety — so it is not a substitute for paying what you owe, it’s a way to avoid locking up cash up front.

This is a private, contractual product, not a Louisiana licensing requirement — whether you can use it depends on your landlord or property manager accepting a bond in place of a deposit. The amount is whatever the lease or landlord names; pricing is 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, and a quick soft credit check may apply for approval.

Contractual — not a state mandateA tenant lease bond is a private lease-guarantee surety bond, not a bond required by Louisiana statute. It is accepted at the discretion of a landlord or property manager in place of a cash security deposit, and its amount and conditions come from the lease agreement rather than from state law. Confirm with your landlord that a surety bond is acceptable before purchasing.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Louisiana tenant lease bond?Pricing is 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum. The amount is whatever your landlord requires — often tied to the security deposit or a few months’ rent. Enter that figure at the application and your exact price appears.

Does Louisiana require this bond?No. A tenant lease bond is a private, contractual arrangement, not a state mandate. It’s only useful if your landlord or property manager agrees to accept a bond in place of a cash deposit — confirm that first.

Is this the same as my deposit?No. The premium you pay is not refundable like a deposit — it’s the cost of the guarantee. The trade-off is you don’t lock up the full deposit amount in cash. If the landlord claims against the bond, you repay the surety.

Is there a credit check?A quick soft credit check may apply — never a hard inquiry, no impact on your score. It informs approval, not price: the premium is 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, either way.

What does the bond protect against?It protects the landlord against unpaid rent and damage beyond normal wear, up to the bond amount. It does not protect you — if the surety pays the landlord, you repay the surety.
