• Even with compliant notice, the landlord has 30 DAYS if deducting costs for damage caused by tenant noncompliance under AS 34.03.120.
• Without compliant AS 34.03.290 notice, the deadline is generally 30 DAYS after termination and delivery of possession, or after the landlord learns the unit was abandoned.

Alaska currently has no separate statewide statute making a rent increase effective merely by sending a rent-increase notice. This form terminates the existing periodic tenancy under AS 34.03.290 and offers continued occupancy under a new rental agreement at the stated rent. Do not use it to change rent during a fixed term unless the lease itself authorizes the change.
