Re: Revocation of a 30 day notice

If either party to a rental agreement gives proper written notice to terminate the tenancy, neither party has the right thereafter to extend it unilaterally. In Alaska, a hold-over tenant may be removed via the summary FED procedure, which usually takes about one to two weeks from filing to a last visit from the troopers.

It should also be noted that any decision to hold over after termination could turn out to be an expensive choice, as the evicting landlord would also be entitled to a money judgment against the tenant for rent, expenses, and attorneys fees.
