AK SB207

Property owners or their agents may file a sworn request with peace officers to immediately remove unauthorized occupants from residential property, bypassing standard eviction procedures, when the occupant entered without permission, has no rental agreement, and is not an immediate family member of the owner

Peace officers must verify ownership, serve notice to vacate, and may remain on-site while owners change locks and remove the occupant's belongings to the property line; owners are generally not liable for property damage during lawful removals

Wrongfully removed occupants may sue to recover actual damages, three times one month's fair market rent, and full attorney fees

Criminal trespass in the first degree becomes a class B felony (upgraded from class A misdemeanor) when the trespasser causes $1,000 or more in damages

Selling, leasing, or advertising a dwelling one does not have the right to sell or lease becomes a class C felony under deceptive business practices, and forging rental agreements is added to second-degree forgery
