⚠ Alaska requires a 7-day notice for a notice to pay rent or quit; the count runs from the date of SERVICE, and some states exclude weekends/holidays — verify before relying on a date. AS 34.03.220(b): if rent is unpaid when due, the landlord must give written notice of nonpayment and intent to terminate; the tenant must pay in full within 7 days after the notice. The pay-or-quit deadline must be at least 7 calendar days after the notice is given (court form CIV-725). Only one written notice of default need be given per default. A landlord may accept a partial payment and must then extend the eviction date accordingly.
Notice to Pay Rent or Quit (Alaska)
NOTICE TO PAY RENT OR QUIT
Date of Notice: ________________
From (Landlord/Agent): [LANDLORD/AGENT NAME], [LANDLORD ADDRESS]
To: [TENANT NAME(S)], Tenant(s) in possession of: [PROPERTY ADDRESS]
YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED that rent is now due and unpaid in the amount of $________. This amount is for unpaid RENT only and excludes late fees, utilities, and other charges unless your state and lease allow them.
You are required to PAY the full amount of rent due within 7 days after this notice is served on you, OR to vacate and surrender possession of the property. Payment must be made to [LANDLORD/AGENT NAME] at [LANDLORD ADDRESS], by cash, check, or money order. If you mail payment, it must be RECEIVED by the deadline.
If you do not comply with this notice within the time stated, the landlord may begin legal proceedings to recover possession of the property under Alaska Stat. (AS) 34.03.220 (Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, landlord remedies; noncompliance and failure to pay rent); AS 34.03.290 (periodic tenancy and holdover); AS 09.45.100-.105 (forcible entry & detainer / service of notice to quit).
Only a court can order you to move out. The landlord may NOT lock you out, remove your belongings, or shut off your utilities; doing so is illegal.
This notice is given without waiving, and the landlord expressly reserves, all other rights and remedies, including the right to recover unpaid rent and damages.
How this notice may be served: Under AS 09.45.100(c), a written notice to quit must be served by (1) personal delivery to the tenant/person in possession, (2) leaving it at the premises if the tenant is absent (e.g., posting on the door), or (3) sending by registered or certified mail. The Alaska Court System provides standardized notice-to-quit forms (CIV-725 nonpayment, CIV-727 lease violation, CIV-728 intentional damage) and a Declaration of Service to prove delivery. If served by registered/certified mail, count 3 additional calendar days before the deadline runs (so a mailed 7-day nonpayment notice gives the tenant 10 days).

Alaska Eviction Notice Requirements
In Alaska, a landlord must serve a written notice before filing for eviction under Alaska Stat. (AS) 34.03.220 (Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, landlord remedies; noncompliance and failure to pay rent); AS 34.03.290 (periodic tenancy and holdover); AS 09.45.100-.105 (forcible entry & detainer / service of notice to quit). The required notice period depends on the reason:
- Nonpayment of rent: 7-day notice to pay or quit. AS 34.03.220(b): if rent is unpaid when due, the landlord must give written notice of nonpayment and intent to terminate; the tenant must pay in full within 7 days after the notice. The pay-or-quit deadline must be at least 7 calendar days after the notice is given (court form CIV-725). Only one written notice of default need be given per default. A landlord may accept a partial payment and must then extend the eviction date accordingly.
- Curable lease violation: 10-day notice to cure or quit. AS 34.03.220(a)(2): for material noncompliance with the rental agreement or with AS 34.03.120 (tenant duties) materially affecting health and safety -- other than deliberate infliction of substantial damage or a utility-service noncompliance -- the landlord gives written notice specifying the breach and that the agreement terminates not less than 10 days after service. If the breach is remediable and the tenant adequately remedies it before the date specified, the agreement does not terminate (court form CIV-727 = 10 days to cure or quit).
- No-cause termination (month-to-month): 30-day notice. AS 34.03.290(b): either party may terminate a month-to-month tenancy by written notice given at least 30 days before the rent due date specified in the notice. Not tenancy-length-dependent. A week-to-week tenancy requires at least 14 days' written notice (AS 34.03.290(a)). No statewide just-cause limit applies to no-fault terminations.
Service: Under AS 09.45.100(c), a written notice to quit must be served by (1) personal delivery to the tenant/person in possession, (2) leaving it at the premises if the tenant is absent (e.g., posting on the door), or (3) sending by registered or certified mail. The Alaska Court System provides standardized notice-to-quit forms (CIV-725 nonpayment, CIV-727 lease violation, CIV-728 intentional damage) and a Declaration of Service to prove delivery. If served by registered/certified mail, count 3 additional calendar days before the deadline runs (so a mailed 7-day nonpayment notice gives the tenant 10 days).
- Nonpayment of rent: 7-day written pay-or-quit notice before filing (AS 34.03.220(b); Alaska Court System form CIV-725).
- Curable lease / health-safety violation: 10-day cure-or-quit notice (AS 34.03.220(a)(2); form CIV-727); a repeat of substantially the same violation within 6 months allows a 5-day no-cure notice (AS 34.03.220(a)(3)).
- Deliberate/intentional substantial damage (loss over $400), or prostitution/other specified serious conduct, allows termination on not less than 24 hours' and not more than 5 days' notice (AS 34.03.220(a)(1); form CIV-728).
- No-cause termination of a month-to-month tenancy requires 30 days' written notice before the next rent due date (AS 34.03.290(b)); week-to-week requires 14 days (AS 34.03.290(a)).
- No statewide just-cause eviction law. Eviction (forcible entry & detainer) is filed in district court after the notice period expires (AS 09.45.060-.160). Notices served by registered/certified mail add 3 days.
