What Alaska requires

14 days or 30 days

With proper notice to end the tenancy, mail the notice and refund within 14 days after the tenancy ends and possession is delivered, or within 30 days where costs are deducted for damage. Without proper notice from the tenant, the time is 30 days.

The itemized notice

When the tenancy ends, apply the deposit or prepaid rent to accrued rent and to damages from the tenant's breach, itemized in a written notice mailed to the tenant's last known address together with the amount due to the tenant.

What counts as damage

Damages means deterioration of the premises and their contents, but not normal wear and tear, and not deterioration caused by the landlord failing to prepare for expected conditions or to meet the landlord's own obligations. Normal wear and tear is deterioration from the intended use of the unit without negligence, carelessness, accident, misuse or abuse by the tenant, their household, invitees or guests.

Pet deposits and stated terms

A pet deposit for a pet that is not a service animal may not exceed one month's rent, is accounted for separately, and covers only damage directly related to the pet. The landlord tells the tenant the terms and conditions under which the deposit may be withheld.

The penalty

A landlord who wilfully fails to follow these rules can be liable for up to twice the actual amount withheld.

Common mistakes

  • Waiting 30 days when nothing is deducted for damage and the tenant gave proper notice.
  • Mixing the pet deposit into the security deposit accounting.
  • Charging for deterioration the landlord should have prepared for.
  • Mailing the notice anywhere but the tenant's last known address.
