Alaska Residential Lease Agreement FAQ
Common questions about residential lease agreements under Alaska law.
How long does an Alaska landlord have to return the security deposit?
Under AS 34.03.070, the landlord must return the deposit within 14 days after the tenancy ends. If the tenant disputes deductions, the deadline extends to 30 days. Failure to return within the deadline forfeits the landlord's right to any deduction.
What is the maximum security deposit in Alaska?
Alaska caps security deposits at 2 months' rent for unfurnished units. If the unit is furnished, there is no separate cap for the furnishings deposit, but total deposits must be reasonable.
Can Alaska landlords prohibit pets?
Yes. Alaska has no state law requiring landlords to allow pets. Landlords may prohibit pets or charge additional pet deposits. However, service animals and emotional support animals are covered under the Fair Housing Act and must be accommodated with reasonable modifications.
What protected classes apply to Alaska rentals?
Alaska's Human Rights Act adds marital status, changes in marital status, pregnancy, parenthood, and physical or mental disability to the federal protected classes (race, color, national origin, sex, religion, familial status). Discrimination based on any of these in rental is unlawful.
