Alaska Property Management Agreement

This Property Management 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).

Landlord entry & access

Except in an emergency, an Alaska landlord must give the tenant at least 24 hours’ notice of the intent to enter and may enter only at reasonable times (AS 34.03.140). Permitted purposes include inspections, necessary or agreed repairs and services, and showing the unit to buyers, lenders, contractors or prospective tenants.

The tenant may not unreasonably withhold consent to a properly noticed entry, and the landlord may not abuse the right of access or use it to harass the tenant.

Alaska Property Management 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.
