What to Expect When You Choose Ringstad Law Office, PC

Landlord tenant matters are time-sensitive and documentation-driven. Our approach is structured around getting the case organized early, keeping the process compliant, and preparing for court when needed.

Here’s what the process typically looks like:

• Initial Review & Case Assessment. We review the lease terms, the reason for enforcement or termination, and what has already happened so far.
• Record-Building & Documentation Cleanup. We identify what records matter, what is missing, and what needs to be put in writing to support the next step.
• Notice Strategy & Preparation. We confirm the correct notice requirements and prepare or review the Notice to Quit and related written demands.
• Court Preparation When Filing Is Necessary. We handle filings, coordinate service, track deadlines, assemble exhibits, and prepare for hearing issues that commonly arise.
• Ongoing Guidance & Communication. You get clear direction on what to do next, what not to do, and how to keep the case from being derailed by procedural missteps.

How We Handle Landlord Tenant Disputes

Landlord tenant disputes rarely stay simple. A single issue like missed rent can quickly expand into disagreements about notice, property condition, lease compliance, or what happened and when. When a dispute reaches that point, the outcome often depends on whether the legal steps were handled correctly and whether the documentation supports what the landlord is asking for.

Ringstad Law Office, PC helps landlords take action with a plan that is consistent with Alaska law and positioned for court if needed. Our work in most cases includes:

• Confirming the legal basis for enforcement or termination based on the lease terms and the facts
• Reviewing and organizing key records (lease, rent ledger, utility billing, communications, photos, inspection notes, and prior notices)
• Preparing or reviewing Notices to Quit and other written demands so the timeline and language match Alaska requirements
• Setting up a clean proof of service and documentation trail that holds up if the tenant disputes notice
• Preparing the case for court when necessary, including filings, exhibits, and hearing preparation
• Advising on compliance throughout the process, including avoiding prohibited lockouts, utility shutoffs, and other “self-help” actions
