What happens after the notice in Alaska
If the tenant does not comply, the eviction moves to court. These are Alaska’s own rules for that step, from the judiciary and the statute.
- What the case is called. In Alaska an eviction lawsuit is a(n) Forcible Entry and Detainer (F.E.D.) action. — Alaska Court System, CIV-720 Eviction Booklet ↗
- Where to file. If the tenant doesn’t comply with the notice, the landlord files in the District Court (Superior Court if rent/damages claimed exceed $100,000). — Alaska Court System, CIV-720 Eviction Booklet, 'Where to File' (citing AS 22.15.030(a)(6) and (b)) ↗
- How to serve the notice. Written notice to quit served by (1) delivery to the tenant, (2) leaving it at the premises if tenant is absent, or (3) registered or certified mail (AS 09.45.100(c)). — AS 09.45.100(c), as quoted in Alaska Court System CIV-720 Eviction Booklet ↗
- Filing fee. Statewide court fee schedule (Admin Rule 9); the booklet refers to the court's fee list rather than stating an amount. — Alaska Court System CIV-720 Eviction Booklet, 'Filing the forms and scheduling the eviction hearing' ↗
- Official notice form. Alaska’s courts publish an official notice form — compare it with the one you generate here. — Alaska Court System form CIV-725 (8/21), Notice to Quit – Nonpayment of Rent (AS 09.45.090(a)(1) & 34.03.220(b); Civil Rule 85) ↗

Frequently asked questions
How many days notice do I have to give in Alaska?
In Alaska, a non-payment (pay-or-quit) notice must give the tenant 7 days to pay or leave (as of 2026). Source: Alaska Stat. § 34.03.220; § 34.03.290. Notice periods for lease violations or ending a tenancy differ — see the box on this page and confirm current law before serving.
Is an eviction notice the same as eviction?
No. The notice is the required first step — it gives the tenant a chance to pay, fix the problem, or move out by a deadline. If they don’t, you then file an eviction (unlawful detainer) case in court. You cannot lock out or remove a tenant yourself; only a court and law enforcement can carry out an eviction.
How do I serve the notice in Alaska?
States set rules for delivery — often personal delivery, leaving it with an adult at the home, and/or mailing a copy. Keep proof of how and when you served it. Improper service is a common reason eviction cases get dismissed, so follow Alaska’s method carefully.
Do I need a lawyer?
Not always for the notice itself, but eviction is technical and a small mistake can restart the clock. For contested cases, commercial properties, or if the tenant has an attorney, it’s worth consulting a landlord-tenant lawyer in Alaska.
Where does a landlord file an eviction case in Alaska?
If the tenant does not comply with the notice, the landlord files in the District Court (Superior Court if rent/damages claimed exceed $100,000) (the case is called a(n) Forcible Entry and Detainer (F.E.D.) action). Source: Alaska Court System, CIV-720 Eviction Booklet, 'Where to File' (citing AS 22.15.030(a)(6) and (b)).
