Eviction Services in Pomona, CA: City Rent Rules and a Los Angeles County Court

Pomona is different from every Inland Empire city we serve in two respects. It is in Los Angeles County, so its cases go to an L.A. County courthouse. And it has its own Rent Stabilization and Eviction Control Ordinance on top of state law. 951 Evictions prepares and serves notices and handles unlawful detainer cases for Pomona owners, and we check both of those before anything is served.

Call or text (951) 580-0388 about unpaid rent, a lease violation or a tenancy you need to end.

Where Pomona Eviction Cases Are Filed

The Pomona courthouses on Civic Center Plaza and Mission Boulevard do not hear evictions. The Los Angeles Superior Court moved those cases out of Pomona in 2017, and limited unlawful detainer cases for the East District, including Pomona zip codes 91766, 91767 and 91768, are heard at the West Covina Courthouse (1427 West Covina Parkway, West Covina, CA 91790). The court assigns eviction cases by the zip code of the property; you can confirm an address with its filing court locator. Lockouts are performed by the Los Angeles County Sheriff.

Filing location checked against the court’s published list in November 2026. Courts do reassign case types, so we confirm the venue before every filing.

Pomona’s Rent Stabilization and Eviction Control Ordinance

The city’s current ordinance, No. 4359, took effect January 1, 2026 and runs through the end of 2026 unless the City Council extends it. For covered units it caps rent increases at 5 percent a year, allows only one increase in any 12 months, and permits a tenancy to be ended only for listed at-fault or no-fault reasons, with relocation assistance for no-fault terminations. Some properties are exempt, but an owner has to file a notice of exemption with the city to claim it. The ordinance is designed to be more protective than state law, and a notice that satisfies state law alone can still fail. Check the unit’s status with the city’s Rent Stabilization Program before serving a rent increase or a termination notice.

Units the City Ordinance Does Not Reach

A rental that is exempt from the city’s rules may still be covered by the state Tenant Protection Act, with its own cap and just-cause list. Only a unit that is exempt from both can be ended with a simple 30- or 60-day notice.

Student and Older Rental Housing

Cal Poly Pomona and Western University of Health Sciences keep demand high for rooms and small units. Much of the housing near downtown is older, so repair complaints are a frequent defense in nonpayment cases. Fix legitimate problems and keep records before serving a notice.

How a Pomona Eviction Moves Forward

We confirm which rules apply, prepare a notice that meets them, and have it served. If the tenant does not comply, we file at the West Covina Courthouse and serve the summons and complaint. The tenant has 10 court days to respond. The court enters a default judgment or sets a trial. After judgment, the Los Angeles County Sheriff posts a five-day notice to vacate and returns possession.

Pomona Eviction FAQ

Is nonpayment of rent still grounds for eviction in Pomona?

Yes. Nonpayment is an at-fault reason under both the city ordinance and state law. The notice has to be correct in form and amount.

Will the city’s ordinance still be in effect next year?

As adopted, it expires December 31, 2026 unless extended. Check the city’s Rent Stabilization Program page for the current status before you act.
