About this page

Alaska rent late fee law

Alaska's residential landlord and tenant law, chapter 34.03 of the Alaska Statutes, contains no late fee provision, so it neither caps a late rent fee nor gives a grace period.

Read in full for this check: Alaska Statutes, Title 34, chapter 34.03 (Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act). Official source · checked .

Before you send the late rent notice: it is a reminder letter about overdue rent and a late charge, not an eviction notice. A notice to pay rent or quit is a separate document, and Alaska has its own rules for it. Nothing on this page is legal advice.

What Alaska law says about invoice interest

(a) The rate of interest in the state is 10.5 percent a year and no more on money after it is due [...] (b) Interest may not be charged [...] more than the greater of 10 percent or five percentage points above the annual rate charged member banks for advances by the 12th Federal Reserve District [...] A contract or loan commitment in which the principal amount exceeds $25,000 is exempt from the limitation of this subsection.
— AS 45.45.010(a), (b) (Alaska Statutes 2025). Read it at the official source · row verified 2026-08-19.

Cap = greater of 10% or Fed 12th-Dist rate +5 pts. Only contracts OVER $25,000 escape it, so a typical smaller invoice stays under that floating ceiling (never below 10%).
