Alaska License Law

An Alaska broker who receives a security deposit from a property management client must:

ADeposit it in the broker's operating account for immediate use
BMaintain it in a separate trust account as it belongs to the tenant or is held for the landlord's benefit✓ Correct
CInvest it in a money market account for maximum return
DReturn it to the tenant within 30 days

Explanation

Security deposits are trust funds — they belong to the tenant (as protected funds) or are held in trust for the landlord. They must be maintained in a properly designated trust account separate from the broker's operating funds. Commingling security deposits with operating funds is prohibited.
