How to Write an Eviction Notice in Alaska

For an eviction notice to be legally compliant:

  1. List tenants’ full names;
  2. List full address;
  3. Include grounds for eviction;
  4. Calculate and include termination date;
  5. Include date notice served;
  6. The landlord’s signature and printed name; and
  7. The landlord’s address and telephone number.

Without this information on the notice, a judge may not be able to proceed with an eviction proceeding and the landlord’s case may be dismissed.

How to Calculate Expiration Date in Alaska

An eviction notice in Alaska takes effect the day after it is served. If the notice period is less than seven (7) days, weekends and legal holidays are not included, so only judicial days may be counted.

If the notice period is seven (7) days or longer, all days are counted in the period, including weekends and legal holidays. Regardless of the notice period length, if the last day falls on a weekend or legal holiday, then the notice period will not officially expire until the end of the next judicial day.
