Statutes
State law shall apply to all leases of movable property located in this state, whether the property is initially leased in Louisiana or subsequently moved into the state. A lease agreement affecting movable property located or to be located in Louisiana may provide that the transaction will be governed under the substantive laws of the state in which the lease is entered into or governed under the substantive laws of the state of the lessor's residence, principal office, or incorporation or governed under the substantive laws of any other state having significant contacts with the transaction. Whenever a lessor seeks to enforce remedies under any lease of movable property, no matter where consummated, following the lessee's default and the leased property is then located in this state, the lessor shall comply with the remedy provisions, notwithstanding that the lease agreement may provide that the transaction is to be governed under the laws of another state and further notwithstanding the state of the lessee's residence, domicile, or incorporation. (LSA-R.S. 9:3303)
