Which disclosures must a Alaska lease include?
Alaska landlord-tenant law is governed by the Alaska URLTA (AS 34.03). Beyond the universal federal lead rule, the disclosures a Alaska landlord must give at or around lease signing are:
| Disclosure | Authority | Applies To |
|---|---|---|
| Owner/manager identity | AS 34.03.080 | Every lease |
| Lead-based paint hazard + EPA pamphlet | Title X (federal) | Housing built before 1978 |
The main Alaska lease disclosures
Owner/manager identity (AS 34.03.080): the landlord must disclose in writing the person authorized to manage the premises and an owner or agent authorized to receive service and notices.
Federal lead-based paint disclosure
For older housing this is the one disclosure no Alaska landlord can skip. If the dwelling predates 1978, Title X (42 U.S.C. § 4852d) requires a signed lead-warning disclosure, disclosure of any known lead hazards, delivery of any available records, and the EPA pamphlet Protect Your Family From Lead in Your Home. Non-compliance carries civil penalties and, in egregious cases, criminal ones.
What happens if a Alaska landlord skips a required disclosure?
Consequences depend on the disclosure:
- A missed 14/30-day deposit return exposes the landlord to the wrongfully withheld amount and possible damages (AS 34.03.070).
- A federal lead-paint violation carries civil and, in egregious cases, criminal penalties plus liability for tenant damages.
