Create an Alaska Rental Application with our customizable template!
A rental application in the State of Alaska is a legal means for a landlord to gather information on prospective tenants. This document allows a landlord to give all prospective tenants a standardized form to complete to gather information. From a tenant's perspective, this document ensures that landlords treat all tenants fairly and are in accordance with the Federal Fair Housing Act.

The Alaska rental application allows landlords to verify a prospective tenant's background information and credit history before signing a lease agreement. In Alaska, there is no maximum application fee; landlords may charge as much as they think is fair and the fee is not refundable.
In Alaska, the security deposit for approved tenants may not exceed two (2) months’ rent. If the monthly rent is more than $2,000, however, this limit does not apply. The landlord may also charge an additional pet deposit of up to one (1) month's rent, but only if the pet is not a service animal. The rental application fee is separate from the security deposit and pet deposit.

According to the Alaska Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (AS 34.03.10 - 34.03.360), the most that a landlord may charge for a security deposit is two month’s rent (unless the rent is more than $2,000). Furthermore, the deposit must be returned within 14 days (so long as the tenant has given proper notice; otherwise, the landlord has 30 days).
