An Alaska 24-hour notice to quit for intentional damage is a legal document issued by a landlord to a tenant in cases where deliberate damage exceeding $400 has occurred to the rental property. This notice is used when the damage poses a threat to the property’s habitability, safety, or structural integrity. The notice requires the tenant to vacate the premises within 24 hours due to the seriousness of the violation incurred.
The document typically specifies the nature and extent of the damage, emphasizes the breach of the lease agreement or rental terms, and demands the immediate evacuation of the property to prevent further harm or danger. If the tenant remains on the property beyond 24 hours, the landlord may initiate a Forcible Entry and Detainer court action.
Governing Law — Alaska Stat. § 34.03.220(a)(1) and Alaska Stat. § 34.03.120(a)(5).
Deliberate Damage — Property damage is deemed ‘substantial’ when deliberate actions result in destroying, defacing, impairing, or removing any part of the premises or allowing someone to do so knowingly.
