    What Alaska requires

    Notice to end a month-to-month tenancy

    Either side can end an Alaska month-to-month tenancy with written notice delivered at least 30 days before the rent due date that the notice names as the end date (AS 34.03.290(b)).

    Week-to-week (while rent is current): 14 days' written notice before the termination date. Month-to-month: 30 days before the rental due date named in the notice.

    AS 34.03.290(a)-(b) · checked October 27, 2026

    Deadline to return the security deposit

    If proper termination notice was given, landlords must mail the refund and itemized notice within 14 days after the tenancy ends and the tenant delivers possession, or within 30 days if deductions are taken for damages; if the tenant did not give proper notice, the deadline is 30 days (AS 34.03.070(g)).

    AS 34.03.070(g) · checked October 26, 2026

    Penalty for a late or improper return

    A landlord who wilfully fails to return or itemize the deposit as required can owe the tenant up to twice the amount withheld (AS 34.03.070(d)).

    AS 34.03.070(d) · checked October 26, 2026

    A fixed-term lease ends on its end date, and the letter above settles how. If the tenant stays on after that date and the landlord keeps accepting rent, many leases and states treat the tenancy as month-to-month, and then Alaska's notice rule applies: 30 days from either side. Notice given on November 1, 2026 reaches that period on December 1, 2026. Read the rule above for when the period must end, and check your lease's holdover clause before you rely on the date.

    City and county rules can be stricter than state law, and your lease can require more than the statute does. Use whichever rule gives the tenant more time or protection.
