re: Landlord/tenant laws question

In order to preserve a security deposit claim under La. R. S. 9:3251, a tenant must give the landlord notice of his intent to terminate the tenancy, as required by the lease or law. The lease (or other agreement) will normally
govern the amount and type of notice. Saladino v. Rault Petroleum Corp., 436 So. 2d 714 (La. App. 4th Cir. 1983). In the absence of a lease provision (or other agreement) as to the required notice, Louisiana Civil Code article 2728 (Rev. 2004) requires that the tenant give 10 days written notice of termination prior to the expiration of the current rental month.Thus, as a matter of course, the tenant should be advised to give timely notice of termination in writing and to retain a copy for proof at trial.

Don't know if my verbal agreement counts as an "other agreement". If it does, however, then she violated the agreement by saying she would repair things and not doing it.
