Alaska eviction at a glance
| Court | District Court where the property is located (forcible entry and detainer) |
|---|
Alaska evictions are heard in the district Court where the property is located (forcible entry and detainer). Before filing for unpaid rent, the landlord must give the notice required by AS 34.03.220(b); AS 09.45.090.
Step by step
- Notice for unpaid rent. A Notice to Quit for nonpayment gives at least 7 days to pay the rent in full or move out (10 days if the notice is mailed). Only rent can be demanded, not late fees. (AS 34.03.220(b); AS 09.45.090)
- File in court. If the tenant doesn't pay or move out, file the eviction case in the district Court where the property is located (forcible entry and detainer). Ask the clerk for current filing and service fees. (Alaska Court System: Start an eviction case)
- Hearing, judgment and removal. After the tenant is served, the court sets a hearing. If the landlord wins, removal happens only through the court's order or writ, carried out by a law enforcement officer. Exact timelines are in the court's self-help materials.
