Alaska Stat. § 09.45. § 09.45.160
Actions for possession of realty
Operative Text
In an action to recover the possession of real property as provided in AS 09.45.630, notice to quit, when necessary, may be given as prescribed in AS 09.45.060 — 09.45.160, and nothing in AS 09.45.060 — 09.45.160 shall be construed so as to prevent such an action being maintained for the recovery of the possession.
Alaska Statute AS 09.45 § 09.45.160 establishes that when a landlord pursues a legal action to recover possession of real property under AS 09.45.630, any required notice to quit may be delivered according to the procedures set out in AS 09.45.060–09.45.160. The statute also clarifies that nothing within that range of sections bars or limits the ability to bring such a possession action in court. In other words, the notice rules and the right to sue for possession coexist without one undermining the other.

Under AS 09.45 § 09.45.160, operators who need to recover possession of their property are generally expected to follow the notice-to-quit procedures outlined in AS 09.45.060–09.45.160 before or alongside filing a court action. Compliant operators typically ensure that any required notice is properly served in the manner the statute prescribes, so that the subsequent court proceeding is not procedurally compromised. Familiarity with the full AS 09.45.060–09.45.160 framework helps property managers understand both the notice requirements and the preserved right to pursue a possession action.

AS 09.45 § 09.45.160 means that a landlord seeking to remove a tenant from real property must follow the notice-to-quit procedures found in AS 09.45.060–09.45.160 before or during a court action for possession. Tenants may have grounds to raise a procedural defense if proper notice was not given in the manner the statute requires. Those who believe a possession action has been filed without adequate notice can consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid office familiar with Alaska landlord-tenant law to understand available options.
