Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Alaska
Hello,
my husband just gave our landlord a 30 day notice of intent to vacate because we were finally offered a house on our army base. we did not break the lease early.our lease is originally over Sept. 30th 2013. She handed him papers with everything that has to be cleaned before we move. then she wrote we have to pay a extra 1397.60 ( whole months rent) then she will mail us a check for the money minus any repairs. when we moved in she charged us first month and last months rent and 600.00 deposit. we already have Sept paid. and now the paper states if we don't pay it our lease will default. Its not fair seeing we paid 1st and last and a deposit. do I have any rights to fight it?

As I understand what you are saying, your husband gave the landlord written notice effective at the end of September (45 days or so), right?
Write her a letter in response, reminding her that you have already paid the last month's rent. Actually, the only problem I can see (assuming she sends you the deposit) is the threat to report a default to other people. You might want to notify her that if she were to do so she could be exposing herself to a defamation suit.
