Alaska Eviction Notice for Unpaid Rent

What Alaska law says

• Form CIV-725 cites AS 09.45.090(a)(1) and AS 34.03.220(b); the deadline must be at least 7 days after the landlord gives the notice.
• The notice must state the rent owed (not late fees or interest), a pay-or-move choice, and that the landlord may start a court case.
• Delivery: personal delivery, door posting if no one answers and tenant seems absent, or registered or certified mail.
• The Law Department guide says mailed notice adds 3 days (AS 09.45.090(c)) and partial payment accepted restarts the process unless a written extension is signed (AS 34.03.240).

Steps for a landlord

• Calculate only unpaid rent, leaving out late fees and interest.
• Complete form CIV-725 with a deadline at least 7 days out.
• Deliver in person, tape to door, or use certified mail and add 3 days.
• Complete the Landlord's Record of Service and keep the original.

What to put in the notice

• The names of the tenants and the address of the rental
• The amount of rent owed and the rental period it covers
• The number of days the tenant has to pay or move out, and the date that period ends
• The date, how the notice was delivered, and who delivered it
• Your name and contact details, with your signature

Things to watch

• The guide notes some federally subsidized or backed properties may require 30 days notice.
• A tenant cannot be evicted for unpaid late fees alone. Check an attorney.
• Cities and counties can add their own rules, including rent control and extra notice requirements. Check your local rules too.
