From the deposit you take at signing to the notice that ends the tenancy. Every figure names its statute; where none sets it, the page says so.

Notice before a rent increase
30 daysAS 34.03.290(b)The Department of Law reads the 30-day periodic termination rule as requiring 30 days' notice before a month-to-month increase; no statute names a rent-increase notice in its own words. No statute bans local rent control and no Alaska city has adopted it.

Entering the property: notice to the tenant
Notice before you enter
24 hoursAS 34.03.140(c)

30 daysAS 34.03.290(b)Written notice at least 30 days before the rental due date specified in the notice.
Unpaid rent
7 daysAS 34.03.220(b); AS 09.45.090(a)(2), 09.45.105“7-day notice to quit”Paying in full within the period stops itThe notice must state the rent owed and that the tenant may pay or move; paying the rent (not late fees) within seven days ends the matter. Add three days when the notice is mailed.
Another breach of the lease
10 daysAS 34.03.220(a); AS 09.45.090(a)(2)“10-day notice to quit”The tenant can fix the breach within the periodFor a material breach that endangers health or safety, the tenant may stay by fixing it within ten days. A repeat of substantially the same breach within six months allows a five-day notice with no cure, and deliberate damage over $400 or illegal activity allows a shorter notice.
Disclose in writing, at or before the start of the tenancy, the name and address of the person authorized to manage the premises and of an owner or agent for service of process and notices.(AS 34.03.080(a))
Tell the tenant the terms and conditions under which the prepaid rent or security deposit, or any part of it, may be withheld.(AS 34.03.070(c))
