Alaska Admin. Code tit. 6, § 30. § 6.30.230
Filing date
Operative Text
(a) The complaint filing date is the date when postmarked or received by the commission, whichever date is earlier. (b) A complaint by a person alleging a discriminatory act or practice not of a continuing nature must be filed no later than 300 days after the alleged discriminatory act or practice occurred. (c) A complaint by a person alleging a discriminatory act or practice of a continuing nature must be filed no later than 300 days after the alleged discriminatory act or practice stopped.
Under 6 AAC 30 § 6.30.230, the official filing date of a discrimination complaint is whichever comes first — the postmark date or the date the Alaska State Commission for Human Rights actually receives it. For a one-time discriminatory act, the complaint window closes 300 days after that act occurred. For ongoing or repeated discriminatory conduct, the 300-day clock does not start until the discriminatory practice has stopped.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers should be aware that under 6 AAC 30 § 6.30.230, a complaint can be considered timely filed based on its postmark alone, meaning a complaint may arrive after the 300-day mark yet still be valid. Operators who engage in any rental practice that could be characterized as ongoing discrimination face a longer exposure window, since the 300-day period does not begin until the conduct ceases. Maintaining clear, dated records of rental decisions and communications is a practice commonly associated with compliant housing operations.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under 6 AAC 30 § 6.30.230, tenants who believe they have experienced housing discrimination have a 300-day window to file a complaint with the Alaska State Commission for Human Rights, measured from when the discriminatory act occurred or, if the conduct was ongoing, from when it stopped. The filing date is established by whichever is earlier — the postmark or the date the commission receives the complaint — so mailing a complaint close to the deadline is generally recognized as timely if properly postmarked. Tenant-rights organizations can help individuals understand whether their situation may involve a continuing or non-continuing discriminatory practice, which affects how the deadline is calculated.
