re: Does one lose their deposit if they break a residential rental lease in Louisiana

I just moved out of a place and I had to be out on 3/1. The landlord gives the new tenant the keys on 2/29, while we're still moving and cleaning, and then tried to bitch because the house wasn't clean yet. I pretty much told her to frick off and stopped cleaning. She said I wouldn't get my deposit back but when my lawyer called to inform her that she signed a lease to someone else on a day that I still legally occupied the property and gave them keys, that not giving me my deposit would be the least of her worries.
