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)).
Alaska Roommate 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)).
How much notice is required to end a month-to-month lease in Alaska?
Thirty days’ written notice before the rent due date, from either side. A week-to-week tenancy needs 14 days’ written notice (AS 34.03.290).
