Alaska Rent Receipt Law

Alaska has no rent receipt law: its Landlord and Tenant Act (AS 34.03) does not require landlords to give receipts, so a receipt depends on the lease or the tenant asking.

The law we readAlaska Stat. ch. 34.03 (Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act)

Alaska's Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, AS 34.03.010 to 34.03.380, sets the landlord's and tenant's duties, the rules for security deposits and prepaid rent (AS 34.03.070: no more than two months' rent, with an itemized written notice of any deduction), and how a tenancy ends, but none of its sections requires a receipt for rent.

Giving a Receipt Anyway

No receipt duty doesn't mean a receipt is useless. A tenant can ask for one, the lease can require one, and a local rule may add one. For the landlord, a receipt for every payment is the simplest proof in a dispute over what was paid; for the tenant, it is proof of rent for a tax return, a benefits claim or the next rental application.

What to Put on the Receipt

A receipt that shows the date, the amount, the rent period, the property address, the tenant's name and the landlord's or agent's name and signature covers what tenants, courts and employers usually ask for. Say how it was paid (cash, check, transfer) and any balance still owed.

Checked against the statute text in November 2026. This is general information, not legal advice; city or county rules and your lease can add to it. Read the statute or ask a local tenant organization or lawyer about your situation.
