Rental Application in Alaska

A rental application that collects what landlords commonly ask for. Follow your state's limits on application fees and fair-housing rules: ask every applicant the same questions.

What Alaska law says

Application / screening fees	No statute caps or regulates application fees. The Department of Law says a nonrefundable application fee is probably lawful if it covers the landlord's actual, reasonable costs, such as a credit check. A fee that becomes the security deposit if the tenant moves in, but is forfeited if the applicant decides not to rent, is not lawful. The handbook gives no statute citation for this guidance; AS 34.03 (read on akleg.gov) has no application-fee or screening-report provision. Re-verified and corrected 2026-10-27. Source: AS 34.03 (no application-fee provision); Dept. of Law guidance
Statewide ban on refusing Section 8 / source of income	No. State fair housing law bars refusing to rent because of sex, race, religion, national origin, color, physical or mental disability, pregnancy, marital status, or change in marital status. Source of income and housing vouchers are not on the list. AS 18.80.240 lists sex, marital status, changes in marital status, pregnancy, race, religion, physical or mental disability, color and national origin; source of income is not listed.
