Your landlord generally has 14 days in Alaska to return your security deposit if you gave proper notice and there are no deductions, or 30 days if the landlord makes deductions or you did not give proper notice. DepositsBack.app helps you take the next step: a state-specific security deposit notice sent by USPS Certified Mail, with tracking that stays attached to your case. This page summarizes general information from Alaska Statutes § 34.03.070 and official state sources.
The general deadline is 14 days. Landlords must return the security deposit within 14 days if the tenant gave proper notice and there are no deductions, or within 30 days if the landlord makes deductions or the tenant did not give proper notice.
You may still be able to send a notice. We show general state information and official sources so you can review your situation and decide your next step.
The Complete Case Bundle includes your notices, USPS Certified Mail history, case summary, evidence checklist, attorney handoff sheet, and official state resources — all in one downloadable ZIP.
If the applicable deadline (14 days with proper notice and no deductions, otherwise 30 days) passes without a return of your deposit or a written notice, your records — DepositsBack.app notice, USPS Certified Mail delivery confirmation, and any response uploaded to your case — document the timeline. Under Alaska Statutes § 34.03.070, a landlord who willfully fails to comply may owe up to twice the amount wrongfully withheld, and the prevailing party may recover attorney fees; Alaska small-claims court generally hears disputes up to $10,000. You can review your situation alongside the statute and official state resources, and decide whether to consult an Alaska attorney or proceed with self-help next steps.
