Alaska Stat. § 18.55. § 18.55.890
Remedies provided are exclusive
Operative Text
The remedies provided in AS 18.55.880 are exclusive and a person affected by an order of the corporation may not recover damages for an action taken under an order of the corporation, or because the person complies with an order of the corporation.
Alaska Statute § 18.55.890 establishes that the remedies set out in AS 18.55.880 are the only legal remedies available when someone is affected by a corporation order under this chapter. A person cannot sue for monetary damages simply because an action was taken pursuant to such an order, nor because they chose to comply with one. This exclusivity provision channels all relief through the specific remedies the statute already defines, rather than allowing additional civil claims.

Under AS 18.55.890, property owners or managers who act in compliance with a corporation order issued under this chapter are generally shielded from damage claims arising from that compliance. Operators familiar with this provision typically document their adherence to any such orders carefully, since the statute's exclusive-remedy framework is the defined channel for resolving disputes. Understanding the scope of AS 18.55.880's remedies is a practical part of operating within Alaska's housing corporation framework.

AS 18.55.890 limits the legal avenues available to people affected by orders issued under this chapter, meaning that the remedies spelled out in AS 18.55.880 are the ones the law provides — not open-ended civil damages suits. Tenants who believe an order has affected their housing situation may want to review what specific remedies AS 18.55.880 makes available to them. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Alaska housing law can help explain how this exclusive-remedy structure applies in various circumstances.
