Alaska rental application rules to know
- •A landlord cannot collect prepaid rent plus a security deposit worth more than two months' rent, though this cap does not apply if the monthly rent is more than $2,000 (AS 34.03.070).
- •Your deposit and any prepaid rent must generally be held in a trust account at a bank, savings and loan, or licensed escrow agent, and cannot be mixed with the landlord's own money (AS 34.03.070).
- •A landlord must mail your deposit and an itemized statement within 14 days if you gave proper notice before moving out, or within 30 days if you did not give proper notice or there are deductions (AS 34.03.070).
- •If a landlord deliberately fails to follow the deposit-return rules, you can recover up to twice the amount that was wrongfully withheld (AS 34.03.070).
- •Alaska has no cap on application or screening fees, but a landlord cannot charge a fee that becomes a deposit if you move in and is forfeited if you do not, because that would be an illegal forfeitable deposit (AS 34.03.070).
- •Source of income is not a protected class anywhere in Alaska, including Anchorage and Juneau, so a landlord may legally decline a Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher.
- •Beyond the federal classes, Alaska law bars housing discrimination based on marital status, changes in marital status, and pregnancy; sexual orientation and gender identity are not protected statewide but are covered by local ordinance in Anchorage, Juneau, Sitka, and Ketchikan (AS 18.80.240).
- •Alaska has no rent control, requires 30 days' written notice to raise rent or end a month-to-month tenancy, and requires only a 7-day notice to pay or quit for unpaid rent (AS 34.03.290 and AS 34.03.220).

Frequently asked questions
How much can a landlord charge for a deposit in Alaska?
Prepaid rent plus the security deposit cannot exceed two months' rent, unless the monthly rent is more than $2,000, in which case the cap does not apply. A pet deposit of up to one month's rent may be charged separately, but not for a service animal (AS 34.03.070).
When do I get my security deposit back?
If you gave proper notice before moving out, the landlord has 14 days to mail your deposit and an itemized statement; if you did not, or there are deductions, the deadline is 30 days. Deliberate violations let you recover up to twice the amount wrongfully withheld (AS 34.03.070).
Is there a limit on application fees in Alaska?
No. Alaska has no cap on application or screening fees. The one limit is that a landlord cannot disguise a forfeitable deposit as a fee, since deposits must be held in trust and returned under the deposit rules (AS 34.03.070).
Can a landlord refuse my Section 8 voucher in Alaska?
Yes. Source of income is not a protected class anywhere in Alaska, including Anchorage and Juneau, so participating in the Housing Choice Voucher program is optional for the landlord.
Does this application ask about criminal history?
Yes. No Alaska state or local law limits asking about criminal records for housing. A blanket automatic denial based on any record can still create Fair Housing Act disparate-impact liability, so individualized review is the safer approach.
How much notice does a landlord need to raise my rent?
At least 30 days' written notice before the rent due date, since Alaska treats a rent increase like ending the tenancy and re-offering at the new rate. There is no cap on the increase, because Alaska has no rent control (AS 34.03.290).
