Alaska Lease Termination Notice (AS 34.03.290)

AS 34.03.290 provides that "the landlord or the tenant may terminate a month to month tenancy by a written notice given to the other at least 30 days before the rental due date specified in the notice," and 14 days for a week-to-week tenancy while rent is current. A fixed-term lease ends on its stated date and cannot normally end early without cause; a tenant who leaves early remains liable for rent, but the landlord must make reasonable efforts to re-rent and mitigate. Active-duty servicemembers may terminate under the federal Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, the tenancy ending 30 days after the next rent due date. A willful holdover may owe up to 1.5 times actual damages.

No specific statutory penalty for proper notice. A tenant who breaks a fixed lease without legal cause may owe remaining rent (less amounts mitigated); a willful holdover after termination can face up to 1.5 times actual damages under AS 34.03.290.
