When the Landlord Can Come In
AS 34.03.140 — 24 hours' notice, reasonable times, and an emergency excepted
Except in an emergency, or where it is impracticable, the landlord gives the tenant at least 24 hours' notice of an intention to enter, and enters only at reasonable times and with the tenant's consent. The landlord may not abuse access or use it to harass the tenant.
Who handles this in Alaska: legal aid programs, lawyer referral and the state offices, listed in the Alaska directory.
A tenant may not unreasonably refuse entry to inspect, make repairs, supply services, or show the unit to buyers, lenders, tenants, workers or contractors.
During a long absence. When the tenant is away more than seven days, the landlord may enter at reasonably necessary times, and may end the agreement if there is evidence the tenant abandoned the unit.
