This bill creates a new procedure for property owners to request police removal of certain unlawful occupants from residential properties without first obtaining a court order. It applies to occupants who entered without permission, continue occupying, have no rental agreement, aren't immediate family, and where no related litigation is pending. Owners must submit a sworn request form verifying these conditions under penalty of perjury, with potential liability for false claims. The law amends Alaska's civil procedure rules to establish this expedited process for removing occupants who don't meet specific criteria under existing eviction statutes.
HB 115 limits annual rent increases for Alaska tenants by prohibiting landlords from raising rent more than once per calendar year. Landlords must provide written 90-day notice before any increase if rent is current, and after a lease ends, the new rent cannot exceed the previous amount until either the notice date or 90 days post-termination. This applies only to new rental agreements entered into on or after the law’s effective date. The bill directly affects landlords and tenants in Alaska rental housing, establishing clear timing rules for rent adjustments.
