Alaska landlord-tenant law, explained for both sides of the lease
Security deposit limits and deadlines, repairs and habitability, landlord entry, eviction notices, and the FED process under Alaska's URLTA.
ABOUT THIS BOOK
A deposit has not come back, a furnace keeps failing, or rent is late and a notice is next. In Alaska, each of these situations is governed by a specific statute with specific steps.
The Alaska Landlord-Tenant Guide explains Alaska's Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (AS 34.03) from both sides of the lease. It covers who and what the law applies to, written and oral leases, prohibited lease provisions, and the two-month cap on security deposits and its exception. It explains the 14-day and 30-day deadlines for returning a deposit, what counts as normal wear and tear, and the warranty of habitability.
The guide also explains the 24-hour notice rule for landlord entry, retaliatory eviction, and the eviction path in Alaska: a 7-day notice to quit for nonpayment or a 10-day notice to cure, a forcible entry and detainer (FED) case in District Court, and a writ of assistance.
Inside:
• Step-by-step procedures for tenants and for landlords
• Real-world questions and answers on deposits, repairs, entry, and notices
