How to Evict a Tenant in Alaska

Step 1 – Notice to Quit

The landlord must first notify the tenant that they intend to terminate the tenancy and demand repossession of the property by delivering one of these notices to quit:

Step 2 – Deliver Notice

In Alaska, notices can be delivered in person, posted in a conspicuous place on the rental property, or sent via certified/registered mail. The tenant is given the appropriate time period to remedy the violation or vacate the premises.

Step 3 – File for Eviction

Should the tenant refuse to fix the issue or leave the property, the landlord can file an eviction lawsuit. An eviction case must be filed in the judicial court in which the rental property is located. The following six forms must be completed and filed by the landlord:

Step 4 – Serve the Tenant

The landlord must hire a process server to deliver the documents to the tenant in person. The landlord must provide a copy of the Complaint (CIV-730), the Summons (CIV-105), and Service Instructions (CIV 615). Once the tenant has been served, the process server will create a notarized form called a “Return of Service” to be filed with the court.

Step 5 – Eviction Hearing

The Summons (CIV-105) notifies the tenant when the eviction hearing will take place. The judge will decide who is in the right and will either demand the tenant hand over possession of the rental unit or they will allow them to remain on the property.

Step 6 – Damages Claim (If Applicable)

If the landlord files a damages claim as well as judgment for possession, the tenant has 20 days from the date of service to answer the Complaint. The tenant will need to complete the Answer to F.E.D. Complaint (CIV-735); if they don’t, the landlord can request a default judgment from the judge (Default Judgment (CIV-745)).

Step 7 – Schedule Trial for Damages Claim

If the landlord intends to recover damages from the tenant (rent, property damage, utilities, etc.), a trial must take place to determine the amount of money the tenant owes. In some courts, a trial date for a claim for damages will be set automatically. Otherwise, the landlord will have to file a Memorandum to set Civil Case for Trial (CIV-200).

Step 8 – Trial for Damages Claim

On the day of the trial, both parties can present testimony and call witnesses. The judge will enter a final judgment when they have collected all the necessary information. If the landlord wins, the tenant will be required to pay all money owed, which may include court costs, legal fees, and attorneys’ fees.
