Alaska Lease Contract - What should I Know?

Your Alaska Lease Contract will probably continue for a fixed term (for tenancies at will, see the month-to-month Alaska rental agreement). Most property mangers and rental property owners prefer their Alaska lease agreement to last for a fixed term and then continue month-to-month until the tenancy is ended by the Landlord (lessor) or the Tenant (lessee) by providing written notice in advance. You should examine your lease contract to understand the minimum lease term and any actions that must be taken to terminate the lease contract.

Is Notice Required to Terminate Alaska Lease Contracts?

Alaska has specific laws that govern Residential Lease Agreements, and if you have a tenancy at will (also known as month-to-month lease agreement), you will probably need to use the Alaska Notice to Vacate to end your lease contract. This is different than the Alaska Notice to Quit, which is instead used to terminate the lease when there is a breach in contract. The Alaska Landlord Notice to Vacate can be used by landlords LLNOTIFY to notify tenants that the lease will terminate and the property must be returned. Tenants can use the Alaska Tenant Notice to Vacate TTNOTIFY to terminate their rental agreement with the landlord. Most states have very specific rules, and Alaska is no exception. You can learn more about Alaska tenant rights and protections from the Alaska Department of Housing and Urban Department website. Keep in mind that the Alaska Lease Termination Notice is not the same as the Alaska Eviction Notice, and that a Writ of Possession can only be issued by the courts in an unlawful detainer lawsuit.

Alaska Lease Contracts - What else should I know?
