Landlord Move-In / Move-Out Condition Checklist — Alaska

LANDLORD MOVE-IN / MOVE-OUT CONDITION CHECKLIST — ALASKA

Before you use this: For a covered Alaska residential tenancy, if the landlord requires a condition statement, attach or incorporate this signed move-in statement and any contents inventory into the rental agreement under AS 34.03.020(e). Record actual condition and tenant comments; an inspection signature is not a waiver of either party's legal rights.

SECTION 1 — PROPERTY AND TENANCY INFORMATION

Residential deposit check (AS 34.03.070(a), (h)): The general cap applies to prepaid rent plus the security deposit together: two months' periodic rent, unless monthly rent exceeds $2,000. A separately accounted additional pet deposit of up to one month's periodic rent may be collected for a pet that is not a service animal and used only for directly related pet damage. Record amounts actually received; this checklist does not itself collect a deposit.

Premises Condition Statement and Contents Inventory (AS 34.03.020(e))

WHEN REQUIRED BY THE LANDLORD: Document the condition at commencement, have both parties sign, and attach or incorporate the statement and inventory into the rental agreement. A joint walk-through and written comment period are prudent documentation practices, but Alaska law does not create the five-day period formerly stated here.

SECTION 11 — SECURITY DEPOSIT ACCOUNTING (14/30-DAY DEADLINES)

Refund and itemization timing (AS 34.03.070(g)): If a landlord or tenant gives a notice complying with AS 34.03.290, the general period is 14 days after tenancy termination and delivery of possession. If covered damage costs are deducted, the landlord has 30 days after termination. If the tenant did not give compliant notice, the statute supplies a separate 30-day period measured from termination, delivery of possession, or when the landlord becomes aware of abandonment. Determine the applicable trigger from the actual facts; this inspection date alone does not start the clock.

SECTION 13 — DEPOSIT DECISION RECORD AND FILES

Use the move-in record, move-out observations, lease, invoices, and AS 34.03.070(b) to distinguish accrued rent and damage from ordinary wear or deterioration caused by a landlord failure. Do not treat a condition rating or estimate as an automatic charge. Mail the itemized notice and any amount due using the applicable AS 34.03.070(g) deadline.

Retain the signed move-in statement, comments, photos, move-out record, deposit ledger, invoices, and mailing proof under the retention period applicable to the property and any pending dispute.

☐ Move-in condition report and contents inventory attached to rental agreement
☐ Tenant comments and agreed corrections attached
☐ Move-in and move-out photos retained
☐ Deposit and pet-deposit accounting retained separately
☐ Itemized notice, refund proof, and forwarding-address record retained
