In Alaska, as of 2025, there are no statewide rent control laws limiting how much landlords can raise rent. This means landlords have the freedom to increase rent by any amount, provided they follow certain legal procedures. Alaska law requires landlords to give tenants written notice at least 30 days before a rent increase takes effect for month-to-month tenancies. For week-to-week tenancies, the notice period is 14 days. If the tenant has a fixed-term lease, the landlord generally cannot raise the rent during the lease term unless the lease specifically allows for mid-term increases.
Although there are no limits on the amount a landlord can raise the rent, the increase must not be retaliatory or discriminatory, violating tenant protections under state and federal law. Tenants should carefully review their lease agreements to understand any provisions about rent increases during the lease period.
Because there is no cap on rent increases, landlords in Alaska may choose to raise rent frequently, so long as proper notice is given each time. This flexibility reflects Alaska’s approach to landlord-tenant relations, which emphasizes written agreements and proper notification over imposed rent ceilings. Tenants are encouraged to stay informed about their rights and maintain communication with landlords about potential rent changes.
Alaska’s rent increase laws in 2025 allow landlords considerable discretion in raising rent, but they must provide adequate advance written notice and comply with lease terms and anti-discrimination laws. Tenants should be prepared for possible rent changes with as little as 30 days’ notice and should review lease documents carefully to be fully aware of their protections and obligations.
