How to Evict a Tenant in Alaska

Step 2 – Complaint and Summons

If the tenant does not comply with the notice to quit by curing the violation (if applicable) or moving out, the landlord can start the eviction process.
They will need to complete a Complaint and Summons and file them with the justice court where the property is located. Copies should be made of these forms for the court, the landlord, and the tenant.

Step 3 – Serve the Tenant

The landlord must arrange for a court constable, the county sheriff’s department, or a private process server to serve the following documents on the tenant two days before the trial date:

Step 4 – Tenant’s Answer

Once the tenant has received all the documents, they can download, complete, and file an Answer form with the court. A copy of this form must be delivered to the landlord.

Step 5 – Hearing

On the day of the hearing, the landlord and tenant must appear before a justice of the peace (judge). The justice will ask the tenant if they deny the case against them. If they do not deny the violations, the justice will order a judgment (Step 7).
If the tenant doesn’t believe the landlord has proper grounds for eviction, they will have to present evidence supporting that. The justice may call for a trial if they believe it’s necessary (Step 6).

Step 6 – Trial (If Applicable)

At the trial, the justice will hear testimony from both parties to determine the full scope of the situation. If the tenant wins, they can maintain possession of the rental unit and may be awarded filing fees, court costs, and attorneys’ fees.
If the ruling is in favor of the landlord, the judge may order the tenant to pay the landlord any unpaid rent, costs of damages, court fees, and attorneys’ fees, and they may force them to hand over possession of the residence to the landlord.

Step 7 – Judgment and Writ of Restitution

The justice will complete a Judgment, which orders the losing party to pay a certain amount of money to the prevailing party. If the landlord has won the case, they may regain possession of the property.
If the tenant doesn’t leave within 5 days of the issued Judgment, the landlord can file a Writ of Restitution. The Writ demands that the sheriff remove the tenant from the property.
