Alaska Stat. § 09.45. § 09.45.105
Content of notice to quit
Operative Text
Notice to quit served upon the tenant or person in possession must (1) state (A) the nature of the breach or violation of the lease or rental agreement or other reason for termination of the tenancy of the tenant or person in possession; (B) in circumstances in which the breach or violation described in (A) of this paragraph may be corrected by the tenant or person in possession to avoid the termination of the tenancy, the nature of the remedial action to be taken, and the date and time by which the corrective actions must be completed in order to avoid termination of the tenancy; (C) the date and time when the tenancy of the tenant or person in possession under the lease or rental agreement will terminate; (2) direct the tenant or person in possession to quit the premises not later than the date and time of the termination of the tenancy; and (3) give notice to the tenant or person in possession that, if the tenancy terminates and the tenant or person in possession continues to occupy the premises, the landlord may commence a civil action to remove the tenant or person and recover possession.
Alaska Statute AS 09.45.105 sets out the required contents of a notice to quit — the formal written notice used to begin the process of ending a tenancy. The notice must identify the specific reason the tenancy is being terminated, state the date and time the tenancy will end, and direct the occupant to vacate by that deadline. When the reason for termination is something the tenant can fix, the notice must also describe what corrective action is needed and the deadline by which it must be completed. Finally, the notice must inform the occupant that if they remain after the tenancy ends, the landlord may file a civil action to recover possession of the property.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under AS 09.45.105, a compliant notice to quit includes several specific elements: a clear description of the lease violation or other reason for termination, the exact date and time the tenancy will end, and a direction to vacate by that deadline. When the violation is one that can be cured, compliant operators also include a description of the required corrective action and the deadline for completing it. The notice must further inform the occupant that continued possession after termination may result in a civil action to recover the premises — omitting any of these elements can undermine the validity of the notice.

AS 09.45.105 establishes what a legally sufficient notice to quit must contain, and those requirements can matter significantly to a tenant who receives one. A notice that fails to identify the specific reason for termination, omit the termination date and time, or leave out information about a cure period when one applies may not meet the statutory standard. Tenants who believe a notice they received is deficient may be able to raise that deficiency as a defense in any subsequent court proceeding, and consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with Alaska law can help clarify what options are generally available.
