Alaska Stat. § 18.80. § 18.80.050
Regulations
Operative Text
(a) The commission shall adopt procedural and substantive regulations necessary to implement this chapter. (b) The commission shall adopt regulations relating to discrimination because of physical and mental disability. The regulations must furnish guidance concerning the circumstances under which it is necessary to make a reasonable accommodation for a physically or mentally disabled person when providing employment, financing or credit, public accommodations, the sale or rental of real property, or other goods, services, facilities, advantages, or privileges under this chapter.
Alaska Statute AS 18.80 § 18.80.050 requires the Alaska State Commission for Human Rights to establish both procedural and substantive rules to carry out the state's anti-discrimination law. A specific regulatory duty covers disability discrimination, requiring the Commission to issue guidance on when reasonable accommodations must be made for people with physical or mental disabilities across contexts such as employment, housing sales and rentals, financing, and public accommodations. These regulations serve as the interpretive framework that defines how the broader anti-discrimination protections of AS 18.80 are applied in practice.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under AS 18.80 § 18.80.050, the Alaska State Commission for Human Rights is charged with issuing regulations that clarify when a reasonable accommodation is required for applicants or tenants with physical or mental disabilities in the context of real property sales and rentals. Compliant property operators generally familiarize themselves with those Commission regulations to understand what modifications or policy exceptions may be required and document their accommodation processes accordingly. Reviewing the Commission's published guidance is a standard part of maintaining fair-housing compliance under this chapter.

AS 18.80 § 18.80.050 directs the Alaska State Commission for Human Rights to publish regulations explaining when landlords and other housing providers must provide reasonable accommodations for people with physical or mental disabilities. Tenants who believe a reasonable accommodation was improperly denied may look to those Commission regulations to understand the standards that apply to their situation. General enforcement paths include filing a complaint with the Alaska State Commission for Human Rights or consulting a tenant-rights or disability-rights organization familiar with the Commission's rules under this chapter.
