Alaska Co-Signer Guarantor Agreement

This Co-Signer Guarantor Agreement is built with Alaska as the governing state. These are the Alaska landlord-tenant rules that most often bear on it, with the statute for each.

Security deposits in Alaska

Alaska limits the security deposit plus any prepaid rent to two months’ periodic rent (AS 34.03.070(a)). The cap has a carve-out found almost nowhere else: it simply doesn’t apply when the monthly rent exceeds $2,000.

  • Pet deposit — On top of the regular deposit, a landlord may take a separate pet deposit of up to one month’s rent, usable only for pet damage. It can’t be charged for a service animal (AS 34.03.070(h)).
  • Held in trust — Deposits must be placed, wherever practicable, in a trust account with a bank, savings and loan, or licensed escrow agent, and may not be commingled with the landlord’s own funds (AS 34.03.070(c)).
  • Itemized deductions — Deductions are limited to accrued rent and damage beyond normal wear and tear, and must be itemized in a written notice mailed to the tenant’s last known address (AS 34.03.070(b)).
  • Return deadline — If the tenant gave proper notice to end the tenancy, the refund is due within 14 days — or 30 days where the landlord deducts for damage. If the tenant didn’t give proper notice, the landlord has 30 days after termination, surrender, or discovering abandonment (AS 34.03.070(g)).
  • Penalty — A landlord who wilfully fails to follow the itemization and refund rules can be ordered to pay up to twice the amount withheld (AS 34.03.070(d)).

Rent, late fees & rent increases

Alaska has no statute capping late fees or requiring a grace period. A late fee should be written into the lease and kept to a reasonable estimate of the landlord’s loss, since courts won’t enforce a charge that functions as a penalty.

  • Rent increases — There’s no dedicated rent-increase notice statute. A fixed-term lease can’t be changed mid-term without agreement; for month-to-month, an increase should be given at least the 30 days’ notice needed to end the tenancy (AS 34.03.290(b)).
  • No rent control — Alaska has no statewide or local rent control, and no statutory limit on the amount of an increase.
  • No retaliatory increases — A landlord can’t raise rent in retaliation for a tenant’s habitability complaint or exercise of legal rights (AS 34.03.310).

Ending an Alaska tenancy

Either side can end a periodic tenancy with written notice. Alaska’s week-to-week notice period is 14 days — longer than in many states.

Notice to end an Alaska tenancy with no fixed term (AS 34.03.290)
Week-to-week14 days (while rent is current)
Month-to-month30 days before the rent due date
  • Nonpayment of rent — After written notice, the tenant has 7 days to pay in full; otherwise the landlord may terminate and seek possession (AS 34.03.220(b)).
  • Lease violations — A material breach gets a 10-day notice to cure or quit. If substantially the same breach recurs within six months, the landlord can terminate on 5 days’ notice with no second chance to cure (AS 34.03.220(a)(2)).
  • Serious damage or illegal activity — Deliberate damage over $400, or specified illegal activity on the premises, supports a notice to quit of 24 hours to 5 days (AS 34.03.220(a)(1)).
  • Holdover — A willful, bad-faith holdover lets the landlord recover up to one and one-half times actual damages (AS 34.03.290(c)).
  • Military — Servicemembers with qualifying orders can end a lease early under the federal SCRA (50 U.S.C. §3955).

Alaska Co-Signer Guarantor Agreement FAQs

How much can a landlord charge for a security deposit in Alaska?

Up to two months’ rent for the deposit and any prepaid rent combined — but that cap doesn’t apply if the rent is more than $2,000 a month. A separate pet deposit of up to one month’s rent is also allowed, except for service animals (AS 34.03.070(a), (h)).

How long does a landlord have to return a security deposit in Alaska?

It depends on how the tenancy ended. If the tenant gave proper notice, 14 days — extended to 30 days if the landlord deducts for damage. If the tenant didn’t give proper notice, 30 days. Deductions must be itemized in writing and mailed to the tenant’s last known address (AS 34.03.070(b), (g)).

Is there a cap on late fees in Alaska?

No. Alaska sets no statutory maximum late fee and no mandatory grace period. The fee should be stated in the lease and be a reasonable estimate of the landlord’s loss, or a court may treat it as an unenforceable penalty.
