A landlord may not demand prepaid rent and a security deposit totaling more than two months’ rent (Alaska Stat. § 34.03.070). If the tenant gave proper notice, unused deposit is generally due in 14 days; otherwise 30 days. Itemize deductions.
Either party may end a month-to-month tenancy with at least 30 days’ written notice (Alaska Stat. § 34.03.290).
Except in an emergency, the landlord must give at least 24 hours’ notice before entering (Alaska Stat. § 34.03.140).
A Alaska rent increase should be in writing. Many landlords use at least the same notice they would use to end a month-to-month tenancy. Either party may end a month-to-month tenancy with at least 30 days’ written notice (Alaska Stat. § 34.03.290). The lease may require more. Local rent-control rules can cap the amount even when the notice period is met.
