Alaska Retaliation protections

Is landlord retaliation illegal in Alaska?

A landlord may not raise rent, cut services or bring or threaten an eviction because a tenant complained about conditions, enforced rights under the chapter, joined a tenant union or complained to a government agency. Exceptions include nonpayment of rent. Exceptions: after a notice to quit, the landlord may still seek possession for unpaid rent, code-required alterations or demolition, tenant waste or illegal use, good-faith personal use, or other listed grounds (.310(c)). The landlord may raise rent for substantial tax or cost increases, capital improvements, or to match comparable rents (.310(d)).
