Legislative Housing List


LEGISLATIVE HOUSING LIST

The Legislative Affairs Agency (LAA) provides information to legislators and staff seeking affordable housing in the Capital for session. LAA accepts listings for clean, reasonably priced, furnished houses, apartments, and rooms to rent. Juneau residents can help by providing economical rentals through this listing service.

Unfurnished accommodations and rentals not available through mid-May will not be posted.

DISCLAIMER: The Legislative Affairs Agency does not act as an agent for any legislator or staff. Any agreement is solely between the landlord and the prospective tenant. Neither the Legislative Affairs Agency nor the Legislature is responsible for any issues that may arise between the two parties. Housing offers may be reviewed and inspected before being included in the Agency housing list. We reserve the right to exclude those listings that do not meet our criteria.

2024 SESSION START: January 16
2024 SESSION END: May 15*
*This is day 121 and the constitutional deadline for a regular session; however, the Legislature may adjourn prior to this date

LISTING ACCESS: Listings are posted on an internal legislative website available only to legislators and staff; however, sometimes listings are shared with an outside party.

LISTING TIMEFRAME: Listings are accepted October 1 through the first day of session in January. Legislators and staff typically arrive in Juneau as close to the start of session as possible and leave shortly after session adjourns.

NOTIFICATION OF RENTAL AGREEMENT: Please notify our office when you have a confirmed rental agreement so we can mark the listing as rented and you do not continue to get inquiries.

EDIT A LISTING AFTER SUBMITTAL: To edit your listing, please email Housing@akleg.gov or call 907-465-3800

RE-LISTING: A listing is active for one session; if there are no changes to your previous listing, please contact our office to re-list for another session without resubmitting the online form.

BEST LISTINGS:
1. Are very detailed. There is space to include additional information that may be helpful to prospective tenants.
2. Include photos. Most legislators and staff will not have the opportunity to visit their rental until move-in day. You can post up to ten images with your listing.
3. Include "dates available" so prospective tenants are aware of any limitations should session adjourn early or be extended.

GREATEST NEEDS: Downtown locations and pets allowed.

AVERAGE RENTAL RATES: Legislators and many staff maintain two households during session and are thus seeking reasonably priced accommodations.

Below are current average rental rates on the Legislative Housing list. The wide range is based on several factors such as location, whether utilities are included, amenities, and whether pets are allowed. It’s possible average rental prices for legislative listings are not representative of the Juneau market. The purpose of this list is to provide a service to legislative employees seeking affordable housing in the Capital.
